A Brief Return

Yesterday I saw a juvenile bluebird in a very intriguing spot. He was on my tray-feeder. There must be a shortage of bugs on the ground nearby, because these guys aren't supposed to be seed eaters. Somebody must have forgotten to tell him that.



He paused on the fence briefly, then piddled around on the ground looking for ants and spiders. I tried to get a little bit closer, but I spooked him before I could focus the camera. As what I can only assume was his way of helping me confirm his suspected odd behavior, he returned to the same location this afternoon. I can't say for sure if this is one of the four that just fledged my nestbox this weekend, but I'd like to think it is.

First of all . . diar? Don't drink and type. Dire need. Like Dire Straits . . "I want my MTV".

Second, you're a phene? Like a phenylalanine? Perhaps you're a fiend . . you know, like a dope fiend? Sheesh, girl turns 29 and all of a sudden she's making 2 egregious spelling errors in one little blog comment!!!

They're so sweet and funny while learning the ropes.

I'm sure he's the same one... Looks like he's staying :o) Lucky you.

My apologies sir. ;)
