The Eastern Bluebirds are so beautiful they just cheer up any cold Winter day! That is my opinion, anyway. The males are a vivid electric royal blue with a burnt-orange and ivory-buff chest. They are keen hunters of insects. They have been here in a small flock of about twelve or so. They hang out in the Oaks and also like to sit in the sun, perched on the wooden rail fences.
I also often see the bluebirds in the grass in my backyard. I am always happy to see these handsome birds! I took these pictures on various days in the past couple of weeks in my yard and from my dining room windows. Please click on the thumbnail image to see the larger picture. Enjoy!

HI Linda, The birds are busy at my feeders this morning… I saw some Bluebirds here also. You have some great photos of yours.
Stay SAFE today… We spent two days in the Smokies and were supposed to go to Asheville today to go to Biltmore. BUT–after finding out about the ice storms all around the area, we came home last night. Glad we did! Driving in ICE is much worse than snow…
Hugs,
Betsy
Hi Betsy, Thanks! Glad you made it OK. I agree that driving in icy conditions is extra hard going. Have a great day and I am glad you treat your birdies so well.
i’m so glad we get to keep these sweeties all year.
Hi Theresa, I am glad for you as well. Have a super good weekend!
I am loving your post on the bluebirds. I am getting my daily dose of these beauties. Have a happy weekend!
Hi Eileen, Yes, so glad you are enjoying these birds! Have a fine weekend!
My favorite is the middle picture, I think he is posing for you!
Hi Ginny, It sure does look like that male Bluebird was posing for the camera! Have a wonderful weekend!
It must be very nice to have them stay around there all winter. The stay time of our bluebirds here is quite brief.
Hi Montucky, Yes, I would imagine that your “Bluebird season” might be a bit shorter than ours here in TN where I live. I think we practically have Eastern Bluebirds here year around. Have a great Sunday tomorrow and thanks for your always appreciated comments!
