The Proof is in the Pictures!

Upon arising this morning I was delighted to see not one but three pairs of Eastern Bluebirds checking out the three bird houses in our yard! Thankfully they continued their quest while I grabbed the camera.

Here is one pair perched in one of the trees - female above the male:



And here is a male perched on the little white birdhouse (after I snapped the picture he ventured inside to take a look around). If you look closely at the right side of the background you can see how the sun causes the snow sparkles like diamonds in places.



How delighful it is they have returned!!! A sure sign spring is definitely on its way.
