My neighbor has 3 bluebird houses in his yard. They must be full because they were in my yard checking out my birdhouse.

They had two broods in the while birdhouse on the pole last year, hope they decided to return.

They certainly look interested so let's hope they bring their family up in one of your boxes. What beautifully coloured birds they are.

I don't believe these birds come around my yard so it's nice to see them here. Great pics, Gail.

Great pictures of the bluebirds Gail! You are very talented, and patient.
I have yet to get a picture of my birds that is good enough to share. I will keep trying, maybe some day I will succeed.
I love bluebirds, I have been blessed to have a pair that use my bluebird house, but I don't have any pictures.
Thanks!

Don't you just adore these gentle beautiful friends.  Hubby and I are going to knock together a few rudimentary boxes this weekend. We have chickadees, titmice and wrens that like these boxes too so we want to make sure we have enough. We've had nesting bluebirds for the last ten years and they are such a JOY.

I love the blue birds and the cardinals.>I have a couple building in one of my houses but I'm afraid the cats will get them.
