I haven't won anything yet, but I'll keep trying!<BR/><BR/>I had a rather "kindred spirit connection" feeling when I read your blog, because just a half hour ago I was sitting by my Birding Window (my dining room window where I have my bird book, binoculars, coffee cup and chair! Will post on this later...) and a pair of Bluebirds were checking out the birdhouse! I got a couple of pics (always try to have the camera right THERE!)...seems early for them to be checking out their nesting sites. I am SO new to this area in MS that it is a joy to see such beautiful birds be interested in living so close to our home. By the way, whoever owned this home before us LOVED to construct birdhouses because we have quite a few in the old garage. How lucky for us!<BR/><BR/>It's true the you have treasures in your life, but I hope that you can one day count seeing the Bluebird as one of them.<BR/><BR/>I've noticed quite a few posts here from people who love birds and I want to go back visit their blogs...<BR/><BR/>You're a gem!!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584744403425323128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460196036103490247.post-16390903708727636362009-01-31T13:10:00.000-08:002009-01-31T13:10:00.000-08:00Hello!

She is a very accomplished artist-I love her work. We live not that far from each other, so maybe someday...<BR/>I think bluebird houses are your best bet too. We have them even now (not to be confused with Bluejays, which are blue, and very beautiful also) but we only hear them singing their little song as they fly around near our yard. They love old apple orchards for nesting too, so that's why we have so many of them I think. We also have quite a few robins that over-winter here. We are close to Seneca Lake, which makes the temps just a bit more favorable for the birds. If you searched Cornell Ornithology Lab on google, you'd have a lot of bluebird info.<BR/>Take care!<BR/>DebraDebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982370018359352543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460196036103490247.post-3635663161240383352009-01-31T09:38:00.000-08:002009-01-31T09:38:00.000-08:00How lovely!

I'm a faithful feeder for them for so many years from many places I have live at. I have to tell you a sad story about a bluebird family I had nesting in my yard. I never did quite get over it, even to this day. The male bluebird was checking out the area and decided to nest in the bluebird house....Before he settled down, this little guy was so cute, he would always check inside the window of our car looking in as if he wanted to nest inside the vehicle. He would sing so beautifully and was so proud getting the best food for his babies. My husband and I always spent a lot of time hanging around outside and became very attached to him and his family. I think he felt the same way about us. To make the long story short. One morning I found him and the little ones ate up, by a raccoon that evening. When I discovered this I was so torn up inside, I wanted to scream why. Just a little later the female came around to check it out, and never came back again. That was the most heart wrenching experience I'll never forget. My husband and I rent and didn't realize the bird house wasn't screwed up tight enough for any critter to get inside.Sandy~Romantique Inspirations~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05460262354481955991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460196036103490247.post-91472331992272896212009-01-31T08:54:00.000-08:002009-01-31T08:54:00.000-08:00Hi Debbie!I'm so glad you stopped by my blog to sa...Hi Debbie!I'm so glad you stopped by my blog to say "Hi" and let me know you are here.

We have 3 bluebird houses. Wrens own one~ every summer a sweet pair come to one. A Chickadee started a nest...but never returned. We had 2 broods of bluebirds in the 3rd one. Do you have a lot of English Sparrows? They are a bit selfish toward Bluebirds. NY State (BB's are our state bird) put information out on why our BB population was quickly dwindling 20+ years ago...English Sparrows were top on the list. ES take over their nests as the BB's are building. ES are aggressive & numerous. We had a neighbor that helped us learn the difference in nests early on...she had 8 BB houses!!!! New York State put BB houses on canal trails, field edges etc. Growing up, BB's would build nests in old wooden fence posts...as the posts, farms & countryside changed, our BB's went away. SO THRILLED they are back. You will see one soon...they're soooo vibrant & sweet.<BR/>Have you every seen an Indigo Bunting? They look electric!<BR/>Wishing you the best of weekends...<BR/>MichelleMichelle Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871116809457375964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460196036103490247.post-71664917165393714472009-01-31T04:04:00.000-08:002009-01-31T04:04:00.000-08:00DebbieFirst time visitor I love and your post for ...Debbie<BR/>First time visitor I love and your post for today is very touching.
