Our resident Bluebirds have come back after being MIA all spring. :D :D
I guess the male has convinced the female that this is where she should nest. She has already built the nest and layed eggs. In fact they started feeding the little ones on Sunday.

I decided to try giving them mealworms and they love them. Now every afternoon they expect them...plus the Mockingbird. lol

We are very happy to have them back! Here are a few photos of them.
Thanks for looking.:D

Love the first one...that would make a great card of some sort. I keep seeing mine checking out a nesting box but no takers yet.

Thanks for the comments Duane. I plan on framing the first one. I hope you get a pair to nest. They are fun to watch.

QUOTED IMAGE

I believe they could. :) Nice shot of your Western Bluebirds. Where are you located? I see Western Bluebirds in west Texas in the winter.
