Continuing with a new series I started about one of my favorite subjects. Birds!
Since I have not seen most of these birds, and they are not in my area, I have to use photos that I did not take.
If you are insulted by the internet photos, apologies in advance.
However, today I can post one of my own photos of two Eastern BLUEBIRDS.
Any day now, three bluebird eggs will be hatching in the backyard house. The photo is the male and female bluebird right outside the deck, checking out the bluebird eggs in the house. Fingers crossed they will all be healthy and remain safe. Will keep you all posted.

Male Eastern Bluebirds are vivid, deep blue above and rusty on the throat and breast. Blue in birds always depends on the light, and males often look plain grayish brown from a distance. Females are grayish above with bluish wings and tail, and a subdued orange-brown breast.

If I am right, blue birds are your most favourites types of birds. Looking forward to seeing the young ones.
You are correct my friend. Did you see my recent post?

Not yet. I will check it.
i am so excited. First that you have a new bird series (cotton pictures are coming)! Bluebirds hatching (oh please picture are coming).
Yea yea yea
happy dance (camera off)!
Thanks Doc. Happy dance is here Doc. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Post coming.
i am so excited I can’t wait.
Such adorable birds and a wonderful capture!
Thanks, hoping for babies soon. First time in two years.
I also hold your fingers crossed and hope that I will soon see the puppies of this beautiful bird.
Thank you, I have not shared these in awhile. The other birds have chased them away. This year, if successful, will be the first nest in two years.
I remember when you mentioned that they were chased away. I hope you have more luck this year.
I finally did have better luck!

Thank you very much for the link.
I also don’t know bluebirds. Are they very fast fliers? I ask because I remember that Donald Campbell named his vehicle ‘Bluebird’ when he broke the land speed record in the 1960s. The things we remember, heh? 🙂
They are fast but I don’t think they are known fro being fast. Maybe he had a different meaning for his car than speed.
You know I had to go and read about this Bluebird. Seems the name started with his father’s boat. How sad about his death. He left doing what he loved.
That’s right. I remember the day very well. I was kind of obsessed with cars back then, the way only little boys can be 🙂
Seems he broke records in the water and on land. Very impressive.
I have never see a blue bird here. They do not live in my area but I am glad to see them in your pictures.
But you have birds I do not. I have not shared these in awhile. The other birds have chased them away. This year, if successful, will be the first nest in two years.
