THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIEWS, COMMENTS AND FAVES

There were absolutely no birds this morning at the beach or river (well hardly any). So I settled for some backyard birds!

Here's what the kids were clamoring for yesterday-- dad incoming with mealworms.

This bluebird holds on during a recent snow flurry.

Taking a look in at the "Woodpecker modified" birdhouse in the back yard. In the end, they chose the house in the front yard, further from the commotion at the feeder.

 

Wikipedia: The eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis) is a small North American migratory thrush found in open woodlands, farmlands, and orchards. It is found east of the Rockies, southern Canada to the Gulf states, and southeastern Arizona to Nicaragua. The increase in trees throughout the Great Plains during the past century due to fire suppression and tree planting facilitated the western range expansion of the species. as well as range expansions of many other species of birds.

 

Conservation status: Least Concern

Thanks for visiting!

From last year. It doesn't look like I'll be taking many photos soon, but will be a hit and miss thing, depending on weekend weather. Because of the teacher strike, we teachers have to stay at work until June 19 ( ten days after students leave), whereas we usually get out around June 5-10. There is no gain without loss. Add to that the myriad of house repairs I need to do (when shall I get that done?) I think I've given up on most of my "free time." Such is life, though, eh?

 

Thanks for Viewing.

The Mass Central Railroad is seen pulling out of the small yard with their interchange pick up from CSXT on a chilly afternoon. GP38-2 1751 (ex PC 7997 blt 7/72) looks sharp in her Boston and Maine inspired bluebird scheme as she heads back north to their tiny facility alongside their state owned ex Boston and Albany Ware River branch line.

I noticed something yesterday: Since I had batch-edited the permissions on my stream last week, mostly out of curiosity, every photo of mine has lost its favorites. Six years of favorited photos all gone . . . my highest number of faves on a photo was over 850. Flickr ought to add a warning to their batch-editing feature. Or I shouldn't be so curious.

 

Thanks for Reading and Viewing.

I liked how the shadows of the berries on his tail made him look like he had a very fancy tail!

The bluebird is a symbol of hope, love, and renewal and is also a part of many Native American legends. It symbolizes the essence of life and beauty. Dreaming of bluebirds often represents happiness, joy, fulfillment, hope, prosperity, and good luck.

Best viewed large. Thirsty bluebirds looking for a drink on a frozen pond. We refer to a long thin crop like this as a "Slim Jim." A Slim Jim is a thin meat snack, wrapped and sold in single units. It was a bright afternoon but the ice and water reflected the dark colors of the conifer trees.

A Western Bluebird young.

Our Bluebirds sure do bring happiness to our backyard. This female was trying to get some suet from the suet house, but she went to the ground to eat some leftovers. Central Bucks, PA.

I found several Mountain Bluebirds at the Hope Airpark this afternoon. I looked for them in the morning but I had no luck and it was not until I was about to leave in the afternoon I finally spotted them.

Two of them were slightly less blue and I suspect they were juveniles. One was quite an intense blue and that was likely an adult male.
