  My mother's favorite bird is the Bluebird "of Happiness."  As of late 2021, we still see the bluebirds every few days.  They have never come to the feeders but hang out in trees or on power-lines near the house seemingly year around.

 We noticed one Bluebird in January of 2019.  A few days later, that same month we saw a female as well as the original male.  Abby, then got a picture with two males in it.  I put out meal worms just for them.  They have not eaten any yet but it did get the male to come a little closer.  We have seen them periodically through to 2020 spring but they still never come to the feeder.

We have a pair but occasionally will see them plus a second male.  Not sure but the second male may be a previous fledge returning to the area where he hatched. 

 ALL PICTURES ON THIS SITE WERE TAKEN ONLY BY ABBY, CJ OR ME.  WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PHOTOS ON THE BIRDING FIELD TRIP PAGE, ALL PICTURES HAVE ALL BEEN TAKEN IN OUR URBAN BACKYARD/TREES, OR IN THE SKY AND TREES ABOVE OUR HOUSE/NEIGHBORHOOD FROM 2018 TO THE PRESENT.  WE ARE USUALLY BIRDING EVERYDAY BUT ARE ALSO USUALLY BEHIND UPLOADING PICTURES.

 IF YOU WOULD LIKE INFORMATION ABOUT A SPECIFIC PICTURE PLEASE EMAIL US.   COGENTLY, IF WE HAVE ERRONEOUSLY MISLABELED A PICTURE PLEASE BRING IT TO OUR ATTENTION.
