The bluebirds were spotted today checking out their home for the spring.
Every year we have a bluebird couple that have been staying in our 'See Rock City'
birdhouse.
We so look forward to their arrival each year, and seeing them build their nest and
take care of their babies.
This is Mrs Blue from last year, working on the nest. They actually got
used to me be being out their and taking pictures.
I even was lucky enough to be out there the day that babies fledged from
the nest and the family took to the skies to go back to where they had
originally come from.
After my mom cleaned out their house, we found the nest
and it still had an egg in it, I suspect that there may have been
3 babies but one didn't make it.
This is the two babies after they flew out of the nest, as soon as they
did the parents flew up on the wire to join them and than they all
flew off together.
The picture here is the male at the birdbath, I wasn't standing to far away when taking this picture, both the male and the female visited it and let me take their pictures.
Oh Maggie how sweet. I love the bluebird family and the story. We just bought a Rock City birdhouse last trip up to TN, and now we need to put it together and get it up in the back yard. I have been noticing the Blue Jays in the tree outside our bathroom window, just love spring and all the birds we have here in FL. Hugs, Marla
