Birds

This past week the Bluebirds finally returned and are building a nest in their house.  They were here earlier, but were driven off by the Tree Swallows.  We have since convinced the Swallows to leave the area and now the Bluebirds can raise their family in peace.  The following pictures are of the Bluebirds and also several other birds that use our feeders on a regular basis.  We have Orioles this year that are staying around and I think nesting in the area.  Hope you enjoy the pictures.

This is Mr. Bluebird protecting his house and he may be praying also.

This is Mr. and Mrs. Bluebird sitting just outside their house.  She has been working hard the last few days building a nest and looks a little worse for wear.

This is a Robin that likes to set in my new Cherry tree.  We see him out there often.
