A #Bluebird update :) I let it speak for itself, but I am so proud of this little momma bird. (Link cause file is too big for here.)

My post yesterday seems to have broken the spell - as of this morning, the female is building a nest ❤️

And another Bluebird photo, but I feel like there can never be too many. Today, the male visited the box a lot, checking to see if things are ok, and the female seems to have checked to see if she likes the atmo in the area. She also came to the feeders and I just loved her little furrowed brow. Come good into Friday!⁠

a female Eastern Bluebird with a prominent furrowed brow, giving her a stern look. She is a fierce warrior after all!

The Bluebirds also came over today. This year’s couple is gonna be Johnny and June. The male was around more frequently in the last couple of weeks but the female has started to come around more too. I am expecting her to start nest building soon but I also hope she takes her time because winter is not over yet.⁠

A male Bluebird is having a bit of a staring contest with you. Proudly swelled chest.

A female Bluebird is looking into the camera. Her coloring looks like she has pronounced jowels, and she also disapproves of your worst life choices.

A female Bluebird showing her backside. Her blues are more subdued than the male's, they look more like washed denim. Her wings are neatly folded.

Some more sights of Mr. Blue today. I am still trying to come up with names for the couple this year but so far, I have come up with nothing. There is still time though, they have not started building yet.

The BBs were back early today and came visiting all throughout the day too. Here, the male goes in to inspect and the female peeks in. Having a cam in the box made me love them even more, it is so cool to listen to their conversations 💙

It is a little pixelly but we are still living in a gloomy stretch of the year and there was quite a bit of action. But the BBs paid a brief visit early this morning when the sun was out for a bit 💙

One good part about being very meticulous and passionate about making sure the Bluebirds can nest safely is that they may return in fall and winter. They are showing up again, and some still have the baby specks showing through. I like to pick individuals, and one of the girls looks like she has very pronounced “jowls”.

Today, we had the first snow, and even the very light dusting made me happy. The birds were happily feeding, and the Bluebird family showed up too. I know I have said this before but they are one of my favorites even just because of the faces that they all seem to make. There are few others with such delightful and distinguishable expressions.
