Nice pix's!!
I put up Bluebird boxes over 3 yrs. ago and have had them lay eggs 2X's a yr. in all the boxes-
Had a small flock of Indigo Buntings show up last yesterday evening!
Still waiting for the Purple Martins-think it's too late.

Nice pics Dems! We've been backyard birding for a couple years and I saw our first blue bird Friday morning. It was sitting on my Dogs Run.

Indigo Buntings are my favorite. I never saw them until I lived down in St. Inigoes!

Bluebirds do not usually frequent feeders. If you can, get some meal worms from the pet store (cheap) and put them out in some sort of container, like a mayonnaise jar lid. You'll see them more frequently. Keep the ones you don't put out in the fridge or they'll die and stink real bad.

I had never seen bluebirds around the feeders before, and I can't say that they were doing anything but sitting around (maybe enjoying the company of all the other birds!). I will get some of those worms...anything to keep them around!

They like grub, you can also buy them at the wild bird store in Waldorf by Borders and Burlington Coat factor shopping center. I just had regular seed out and they came but its blue bird seed or something or other mix ... I have three separate kinds I mix up. Generally, they like wide open spaces so if you have some yard cleared out, I'd set up a blue bird house like I have on the metal pole. Good luck!! I like blue birds too because they remind me of cartoon birds


Yikes! check out this one!

 

[my-thyme]

No bluebird houses for me...my cats like bluebirds, too!

That's a great bird picture!!!
