I'm sitting on my front porch watching a pair of Carolina bluebirds check out my holly tree. I've never seen a live specimen of this bird before; really, the dusty taxidermy in our local natural-history museum does not do them justice. A blue so blue . . . like the sky today, only more so.
Time to put up a nesting box. And alert the Great Backyard Bird Count, too.

Ooh yes, get the nesting box up pronto! We had a nesting pair in a box under our deck in VA. My office window looked directly out at it. Whenever they had a brood inside, my work production went down dramatically. ;)
People used to tell me that they saw them in Memphis, but I never did. We have them down here, although usually all we see is a quick flash. Sometimes they perch in my trees and I can watch them out the kitchen windows. When I see one, I always feel like that is enough happiness for the day.
