Bluebird Surprise ~ Sky Sunday

While out on the deck filling the bird feeder for the blue jays, I noticed a bluebird perched on my poplar tree. Snapped a quick photo before he flew away. 

The bird bath is frozen but I will go back out soon to freshen it up. I am sure that was the reason for her visit.

I just started seeing these Bluebirds of Happiness again in the backyard. They enjoy a nice splash in the water. So happy to see this little female bluebird.

  1. Well knowing what bluebirds mean to you, the appearance is more than happenstance.

    Funny thing you mentioned the bluebird of happiness. In the IT consulting world an unexpected project is called a Bluebird.

    • Thanks, yes I keep it filled year round. Some birds, like the bluebirds only visit during the winter just for the water. Many do not take the time to keep water out. I will clean ice out every day sometimes for weeks for the birds.

      • Do they only come to drink it or do they still take a bath? We have never had a bird bath, but we put some water for them to drink if they need. I have seen them “bathing” in the snow, but never in the water we have put.

  2. You have a nice collection of different birds … the crows have driven us all out … all the birds have disappeared otherwise I don’t know where … I see only crows and sparrows
