Beautiful photos!!! My MIL has Bluebirds but I haven't seen one up here. Same with Hummingbirds, rent house we were in 27 years ago had at least a dozen flitting around, but here I have seen one. Cardinals and Squirrels are regulars. We did find out this spring that during breeding season you should keep the outside rear view mirrors on vehicles covered when they are sitting in the driveway. Cardinals are extremely territorial and very aggressive towards birds in their nesting area. Their own reflections in mirrors are no exception!! I found both male and female (one on each side of the car) pecking the dickens out of the mirrors so we had to protect the mirrors for a couple of months.
We don't have any of your birds here either so it's great seeing your photographs. Sadly we do have squirrels though who dig holes in the lawn and try to chew their way through the bird feeders.
Donna, great photos! We have bluebirds, but aren't sure if they are nesting or not. How did you ever sneak up and get such a great picture? No squirrels here--they are all at the neighbor's yard, sitting in a pecan tree, waiting, waiting . . . .
Such lovely foto's. You must be sorta proud that your bird house was used, eh? I quite liked your pics today. Smashing wildlife.
Cute photos Donna. That squirrel looks like he's getting ready to fight someone over a nut. Jane... my squirrels are already checking out the pecan trees. They look so disappointed as they scurry away empty handed.
