During the short break of decent temperatures, I saw a couple of Eastern Bluebirds prospecting for a new home, they immediately went to the bird house I installed a couple of years back, it’s a cedar house made especially for Bluebirds. Well, this couple were checking the surroundings and the house interior (see photos).

I don’t know if they’ll decide to occupy the house but I haven’t seen them return. The Eastern Bluebirds are very pretty birds but are not my favorite because they like to raid other birds nests to eat their eggs. I’ve seen them do it in the past and made me feel so disappointed for their behavior, I understand perfectly that it is their nature but even so I don’t like it. I’m not going to deter them from living in my backyard but I’m not so crazy about it.

Life Goes On

Despite the disparity of the weather behavior, appears to me like birds have already made up their mind about the season and are searching for the best places to establish their new nests.

I’ve seen more species of birds visiting my backyard and feeders, even at the coldest days I can see numbers of birds coming for seeds, action that actually pleases me a great deal!

I have been cleaning my deck area, and later in the season I’ll be giving it a stain coat. I bought a new feeder with greater capacity, this will save me some time by not refilling it for 2 or 3 days.

As soon as the weather turns a bit friendlier I will resume my shooting pictures as is now I can’t afford to neglect my health being exposed to this kind of weather.

My Internet problems were resolved on Wednesday afternoon with the installation of a another Internet and phone provider. Now I have a faster internet for less money.

Thank you for your support during the days that I failed to post. I appreciate your friendship very much!
