Awww great shot Tex. I love the roundness of those little birds and their colors are spectacular. The Bluebird is the state bird of Missouri!.. :)

Morning, what a beautiful Bluebird picture to brighten my day, Thanks Francine.

nene said...

Oh blue bird sing to me
the song, you know,
the one that tells us
of how you see us
from above.

sing to us sweet, sweet
blue bird of how
beautiful tree tops look
how you must squeeze between
the sky and mountain tops

chant the song
where rivers flow
and the moon beams
kiss the sea

tell us how the sun
unveils the day
for mankind to play

but oh sweet blue bird
remind us if we
don't take care of
what your eyes see
we will not hear
you sing your verse
your song

oh sweet sweet blue bird

Darcie (My Modern Country) said...

I love bluebirds, but we don't get to many around here :(

Karen said...

They are my favorite bird! - thankfully we have many around here, they love the fields. We've placed bluebird houses all over.

Your blog looks great, easy on the eyes and a pleasing soft hue... not that you needed me to tell you that..lol..

Jeanne said...

These little bluebirds are so cute! We get them nesting at our cabin every year in some bird houses that my husband built

Kerri said...

Maple Lane said...

Makes me smile!

Patrice said...

I LOVE bluebirds. We had one that lived near our market garden. He would slip inside any open vehicle window so he could look at himself in the rear view mirror. I thought it was incredibly cute, but often required clean up.

Barb Brookbank said...

Oh my goodness - what a shot!

georgettesullins said...

Awww...adorable capture. Blue and brown, looks so fresh, surprising and lovely.

Oh I think I recognize him from the house out back. I guess I will see him in the spring again when you send him back after his vacation.. I love them Great shot. B

MTWaggin said...

Bluebirds in general are such pretty little things but the eastern ones are really cool with the added color!

Linda said...

What a handsome fellow. I had to look up their range because it seemed odd that a bird with "Eastern" in its name would be found in Texas. I was surprised to learn that their range does extend that far west.

Denise at Autumn Sky said...

What a sweet looking little guy.

Kathy said...

He's sure a pretty little boy! We have quite a few bluebirds right now and with these warm temps they'll probably start getting their nests ready for spring.

Jo's World said...

Thanks for a great shot of one of my favorite birds!

This is the sweetest little bluebird. We have a monster one in our yard, but I can never get a view of it in flight. Would love to see if its belly is similar to this one. The blue is beautiful. SO GLAD TO BE BACK! genie

Paula said...

Wish we had bluebirds here. They are so pretty. When my daughter lived in north San Antonio she had one that came to her deck.

Randy said...

What a handsome little fellow.

petspeopleandlife said...

The bluebird is my favorite. If you haven't put a house for them to nest try hard to get a few up. Attach a metal flange at the bottom of the box and weld a small metal pole to the flange. make sure the box is built so that you can either swing out the front or one side to that the boxes can be cleaned of sparrows or starlings that migh try to build. I had a book with good plans but lent it and never got it back. Forgot who borrowed the book. Any how you wire the metal post to a fence post very securely with good wire." Then standing on a short step ladder, apply boat grease all around the pole and up to the bottom where the flange is. House must be built for bluebirds. Can't remember hole diameter but it should be too small for a starling to enter. Let me know if you have boxes up or not. The birds really do need extra help to increase their numbers. In the 70's I put up around 70 boxes out in various areas of the countyside. It was hard to find suitable habitat for the boxes. Love this photo. So pretty.

JM said...

What a cute little critter! Nice shot too.

Mary Howell Cromer said...

Pretty Bluebird! Right now they come in large groups to gather berries still remaining on trees and bushes. They very seldom get close enough to the home this time of year though, to get any nice captures~

Gary said...

Great shot!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

Genie Robinson said...

What a cutie pie. So sweet and the blue is heavenly. genie
