Moments of beauty......



This bird is like the one that came to visit our home today.....

What a blessing it is to see something so beautiful and pretty stop by, especially when things feel rough.

Our butterfly garden is just about finished and already yesterday we have had many visitors- yellow and black butterflies, a black one with blue spots on one side and pink on the other, a small orange one similar to the monarch but not quite....and most importantly; the hummingbird is coming every day.

The blue birds that we long to see stay at bay. Yesterday a family of about 6 flew up my road, one at a time.

The other day one perched on our power lines and looked down.

As far as I can tell, they haven't dared to eat our food yet.

C'mon little blue birds, come and eat...

PLEASE....

You got a Scarlet Tanager!! Beautiful Tera Rose!

Bluebirds truly do not typically eat at feeders, and so the best chance you get of attracting them is to offer mealworms (you can actually order them on-line or find them at at bird feeding store), or offer sunflower hearts in a platform type feeder where they don't have to perch.
