Nice variety GP. Love that cardinal against the blue sky.


Hi Sharran. Nice shot of your bluebirds. I notice you have a slotted opening box. I changed to that style this year and the BB's seemed to like it, so I installed a nest cam in it.

Then yesterday I put up a Gilbertson's just outside the kitchen window, hoping to attract chickadees or maybe titmice, but Papa Blue is simply crazy about it. He flew in and out and back in, over and over for several hours, literally. Mama is not so sure. She continues to perch on the slotted box. Wonder who will win this standoff.

Here's Papa perched on the roof. It was getting dark when I took this so I had to lighten it considerably and it lacks detail.
