Got eye level with this guy on a walk a few days ago. Finally painted him. An Eastern Bluebird is not something I see every day...and never in winter. I looked a long time.

I miss the mountain bluebirds we had in Colorado. A pair nested in one of our bird boxes. We have yet to see an Eastern bluebird. What a blessing to see one up close!

It did feel really special. I didn't even know his name. I was describing him at home and someone said, it sounds like a robin. "No, I said, all lthat blue!" But he is part of the Robin family as it turns out. I would like to see those mountain bluebirds...how aret they different?

We've had Eastern bluebirds at our feeders for two weeks now. They won't stay; we don't have a bluebird house for their nest. But I so enjoy watching them for the brief time they decide to visit. My favorite bird!
