Each year I put up a bluebird house in my backyard. There are usually 2-3 families of bluebird families born right in my backyard, in Dustin's garden. It is a very special time. I photograph the entire process. From nest building, to egg laying, to hatching, and then flying away. Have done this for nine years now.
It is such a special feeling to see the babies grow up and return to have more babies. I snapped this photo at the birdbath yesterday. The warmer weather helped them appear once again, splashing around in the bird bath.
I will put up the bird house in a few weeks and keep you posted on how it goes.
Have you seen bluebirds before? They are my favorite bird. Very special.

@CarolDM There is a lot of trees on the property so we dont. That would just tempt the cats more too.

@wolfgirl569 You are absolutely right about the cats. I keep forgetting since mine are indoors.

They are so beautiful! We have bluebirds here too, but already so few and evasive.

They are really lovely. Our fairy wrens are very blue too - and so tiny.

I have seen bluebirds. They are really pretty i love all birds .. From my living room window i have a great view i leave me window blinds open during the day so i can see and watch the birds in the trees by my house
I have seen all colors even a red bird on occasion my grandma always said if you see a red bird it means more snow is coming.. I am so ready for spring all the birds and pretty flowers ..the trees are already blooming out .. Its really great for the birds that you do what you do ... Very nice ... :)
