They Showed Up

We were out working in the yard and I see a streak of blue fly through the yard...the bluebirds are back.  We have three that have returned.  A mom and  dad and one son.  They are a little skittish yet but I have been giving then live mealworms so they should be getting used to me making trips to the feeder and my camera.

 

From clear across the yard I say a little bit of blue in the neighbors trees.

I count three...mom, dad, and son!

 

I ran as fast as I could to the refrigerator in the garage for some meal worms.  And yes we has some and they were still wiggling!

 

I carefully and very so slowly walked to the biggest feeder in the back flower bed.  I hid behind it to take these shots because we all need to get use to each other and I need to figure out their feeding schedule.  Not only do I have to work about the dog, the girls, the rabbit...just add bluebirds to the list.  Not to mention that I am always on the look out for those predator birds that lurk in the trees.

And they are already building a nest in one of the boxes!  I checked!

Thinking I might need to give him a few extra meal worms!  He's a skinny one!
