| I looked out back this morning and noticed a male and female blue checking out all of my bird houses. They checked each one and will probably save the information in their heads. Who knows, maybe I will join you in the annual "worry about the blues" season this Spring.
I know there will be House Wrens arriving towards the end of next month. If the Blues hurry, maybe, just maybe, this year.
I've added some images to my soon-to-be defunct blog noted below. |

| Thanks. When the blues were here, many other birds were active too. The vultures were passing just over their heads. I remember the female sitting at the front of the woods and watching as a vulture flew about 20 feet over her head. I haven't seen them since. The winterberries are almost gone so the blues may have been back for them. The mockingbird that was guarding them seems to have moved off for the Spring. In August, you can hear the mockingbird chicks all around here. Thanks for remembering Ambrose. I will always miss him and see him again in Dog Heaven. I've been breaking out in tears abruptly since he died. Can't control it; they just happen. Plus my mood went downhill. My 91 year old mother's mood went downhill too. I realized I had to do something. Last week, I started looking at miniature poodles online. I found one called Blue Jay (too bad it wasn't blue bird). After looking at him for 3 days, I called the breeder last Saturday. On Sunday, I drove there to see the breeders and the puppies. Blue Jay (male)was very friendly and chewed on me because he was teething. Then I put a female, Lily, in my hands. The breeder said she had a heart murmur. Ambrose had a heart murmur for his 17 years. I decided I would take care of Lily and Blue Jay for the rest of their lives. I pick them up this Sunday. Kathy, I'm sorry about Sonny. |
