    I have been editing and deleting photos, here are a few of my favorites. You can probably tell I am partial to bluebirds. This is the first year that they have come into the garden. I usually only see them in the spring & summer when they are nesting. I am glad they decided to stay around for the winter.

    So many colourful little birs. They must make you smile every time they visit your garden Gail.

    Very, very good posting, Gail. I certainly did enjoy seeing these foto's. it is easy to see why your fav bird is a bluebird--they are quite attractive.
    You must be very pleased with the visitors to your yard.

    I wish we had Blue-birds here. Got plenty of houses put out for them. But No takers.

    Thank you all for the wonderful comments. Sorry its taken me so long to respond. The bluebirds must like the new bird seed I have been using.

    Hi Gail,
    lovely pictures but the third one from the top is exceptional,..and what a mix of species in the frozen pond,..that last one looks like our Robin Redbreast.
