    The bluebirds do not usually come to the feeder but the last mixture of birdseed I got has dried fruit and so I have a couple that have been on the feeders. This morning He came to the ledge.

    Thank you all for the wonderful comments. I was thrilled to see him at the window and it was early morning light so his colors really showed up and I was only 5 feed away with my zoom lens...almost too close.

    Another favorite bird of mine. :D :D Guess they are all my favorites. :D

    Enjoy seeing every one of them. BTW, They love "mega worms and meal worms" also.

    It's nice to see a closeup. Excellent photo Gail. Since I have no open fields near me I only see Bluebirds in-between seasons.

    Thanks for all york kind comments. They have been nesting in bird house for 3 years but this is the first year they have come to the feeders.

    Beautiful picture of a beautiful bird. I have had them on the tray too when I used that type of food. I really don't want them nesting here because I have too many sparrows so I quit feeding it. I would rather they find a safe place to nest and eat.
