I love the story of the bluebirds. It does give us hope. A few weeks ago I had a flock of male bluebirds come by, all of them going in and out of our various birdhouses. Checking out the local real estate! I hope some of them will return with their mates when it is time for nesting. debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770960028868336157.post-88385883535739702062018-01-23T11:26:21.527-05:002018-01-23T11:26:21.527-05:00Encouraging to hear about the bluebirds.

I hope all the efforts to help the other critters works as well, too.

I enjoy watching the birds as well, especially since I can watch them without leaving the warmth of my living room:) I've never seen a bluebird here, although I do believe they are in the area. So interesting how conservation efforts have increased their numbers; I hope the same will be true for the Monarchs and bees as well.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770960028868336157.post-13882116582502329972018-01-17T23:08:47.764-05:002018-01-17T23:08:47.764-05:00Beautiful bird photos!
