I have made numerous bluebird houses over the years and have enjoyed the sights and sounds of the blue colored birds so it was a disappointment not having any bluebirds around last year other than a brief sighting of a pair at my family’s farm. This year appeared to be the same without the normal spring arrival time of the bluebirds and past the normal first nesting period, so I was surprised to hear a bluebird this evening in my backyard. Although I didn’t see the bird so I don’t know if it was like this less colorful female or a blue male, but hopefully it is a pair that will stay for the summer.

Hopefully a Bluebird Stays
