The baby Western Bluebirds fledged Thursday. There are three of them.

Baby Western Bluebirds with attitude.
We have had bluebirds nesting here for several years now. |
While taking these pictures, the parent bluebirds watched the entire time, but didn't seem bothered. And the babes weren't antsy at all. Of course, they have had tractors, mowing machines and the hay baler operating not too far from their box.
Bluebirds make me feel rich! Western Bluebirds had been in decline due to loss of habitat, but seem to be making a comeback. Yeah!
While I was taking these pics, some cedar waxwings came to hang out on the magnolia. They are always on the move. Difficult to get a good pic. They look like bandits with their black masks.

We are back to rainy cold weather here. This picture is an indicator of crazy weather patterns.

This is just not the way it is suppose to be. However, nice to have the wonderful sweet pea perfume and lavender scent at the same time.
I am jealous or bird population is better than in town and we have about 14 different varieties, but none as colorful as what you have.
