Blue Birds

[Yellowhead]

I took a drive to trout camp to check out the river and discovered that the Blue birds were back. fortunately I remember my cameras unfortunately I forgot the tripod so these aren't as sharp as I'd like.

Wow! that's interesting how fast they go north. I live in north Iowa and they only came here about a week and half ago. What amazes me is they are already checking out nest box's. Those are good shots even without a Tripod.

Nice collection, I have been fortunate enough to host a pair in my yard for the last couple years. I am looking forward to their return.

I love the first two, especially. Lucky you, JayinMN! Have you stocked up on mealworms?

I like the 2nd one. Nice shots.

Bluebirds are one of the last to leave and one of the first to return.

Birdsong, I have never tried feeding them meal worms. I might give it a try this year though. The ones I have had around here are pretty shy but if I set up a blind I might be able to get some good shots.

I went back to trout camp to photograph the BB today (Thur). I had wondered what they were feeding on this time of year and discovered they were eating the sumac.

For those of you that fish trout, the fishing was pretty good today. I watch one angler catch and release 5 nice browns in a fifty yard streach of the river
