Bluebird Visit Today

Well, that certainly was a pleasant surprise. An Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis) dropped by for a visit this morning. It wasn’t alone. I could hear others singing their sweet songs in the woods, though I only saw one.

They live in this general location year round, but only occasionally right here. I’ve been putting out raisins and mealworms to get their attention. Perhaps that is why I saw this one? Maybe. I’ve got my fingers crossed that I will be seeing them again daily. It has happened in the past. Maybe again soon.

Happiness At The Birdbath

An Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis), kindly posed for me at one of my birdbaths. They’re in the area year round, though not necessarily here in my yard. I try to tempt them with dried mealworms which they sometimes like. Without the mealworms they wouldn’t be feeder birds, preferring to eat insects, and small fruits and berries. Surprising as it sounds, they will also on rare occasions eat shrews, and small amphibians such as tree frogs and snakes.
