I finally got a pic of a bluebird!

16 years ago

I was finally able to take a picture of one of the bluebirds that's been hanging around my yard! I took this on saturday when there were lots of birds hanging around my yard.

The picture's not as clear as I'd hoped it would be but It was the best of the bunch. The birds just would not hold still and everytime I moved they'd take off for the powerlines or the trees. I saw at least 6 bluebirds, some mocking birds, bluejays, chickadees, and one bird that looked like it had a yellow belly but I didn't get a close look at.

Awesome!!!

I miss my BB's so much!

I've never seen one down here in Flarda...boo-hoo!

Yesterday I spotted several Chickadees, Blue Jays and Goldfinch in a pine tree yesterday. I love it when they migrate here!

The bird sounds change from our shore birds to the northern ones in a day.
It's a sure sign of Fall.

karalynn, what a beautiful bird.
bluebirds are one of my favorite birds.
I'm so glad that they are making a comeback.

We clueless have to stick together! :) OK, people -- the water was stink-o-rama the first two days. Now it is very mildly pond-ish, not so bad. The only "rotten" scent is exactly at the filter. But why are there so many bubbles now? Water possibly LESS clear now because the movement is so strong. Waiting to see what happens after a couple weeks. Anything else I should be doing??

It does sound strange to hear that someone had pictures developed. doesn't it. For me that is a thing of the past. I have my old Olympus SLR film camera in a bag with anti dessicant thingies to keep it from rusting out, don't know what else to do with it. I went digital and have not looked back. It would be nice to have a DSLR camera, but not with my current attention span getting shorter all the time. Like my best friend says, she needs a blonde camera. I need a white haired ole lady camera. Just give me a picture of what I see, and the opportunity to play around with effects, and I'm content. What I like the best is the Kindle Fire HDX with a fairly nice camera in it (does things on the cool side though) and the app lets me upload within minutes to my Flickr account...or to social media or Photobucket or Picasa if I used those services. It is quick and convenient for on-the-fly pictures when I run outside to take a quick shot to reply to a post on this forum. I've done it more this week than any time in the past. Now I am lusting after the Samsung Galaxy S5 with a nice camera (better than Apple's so the reviews indicate). I'm into Android so the camera will be a plus. My BFF (best friend) says she will teach me to text.....I view that with mixed emotions. My new car can answer me when I talk to it, so no need for a Bluetooth earpiece any longer. Technology is grand, isn't it? Esther, I like the big egg gravels. Your smaller hosta look like bantam chickens sitting on eggs. Lovely view out your window. Nice pictures. Pick up a cheap digital camera to get you by for a year or so. You'll be missing all the baby pictures otherwise.

Hi there, Thank you so much for all the kind replies to my pics. You have to know I'm more than happy sharing my experiences and pics. with all you Plumeria growers out there as I swallow yours too and must say this forum is great. Gill you are so cool, hehe I did not know St. Michael had a Mountain in the UK too!! In fact I didn't even know about that one in France if it haven't just poped up out there in the water as I drowe by the flat landscape. Cornwall and Normandy are so very close so why not have two equal "Monts" hehe they might be able to look at oneanother in clear weater. I have to go see the one in Cornwall too. I love weird buildings and I live in a city that is 1270 years old and we have tons of old weird stuff too. I just can't figure out why this St. Michel/Michael wanted to be isolated out there in the water I would rather stay inland and feel more safe there. I'm glad you are happy with what I sent you and I look forward to hear about the germination rate of the Plumeria seeds. As I tried 30 seeds in my rose garden in May and 28 plants came out of there and they are really strong and healthy. The Stretlizia seeds however takes forever to germinate but Im shure you will be successfull with them too. Happy growing. Soren

Aren't the bluebirds wonderful? I've been enjoying them here almost every afternoon for the past couple of weeks. They fly in together, play in the yard for a while and then they're gone until the next day. They are so much fun to watch - and quite bold too.

Great photo!

Honestly, I am so frustrated. The hawk hunting in my yard has scared any 'interesting' birds away. Even the jays (which I personally adore) are avoiding my yard.

I have about a thousand ring-neck and mourning doves however....oh, and a dozen or so squirrels.

Witholding seed has not worked. The hawk(s) hunt daily in my yard. Everything will be quiet and peaceful -- then-- WHAM!! A flurry of doves into the air flying in all directions...with a large bird of prey in chase. Two or three doves remain statue still on the ground.

But, my cardinals, house finches, regular finches --even the parrots - woodpeckers...everyone avoids my yard.

Karalynn, congrats on your bluebird, and you guys who haven't seen them but HAVE seen chickadees, congrats on them, too. Chickadees are not all that common down here. I've only seen them a couple of times in all my years of birding in Florida, and every time, they were traveling with tufted titmice.

Great picture!

I just saw my first bluebird (in Florida) about an hour ago!!! I got so excited hollering for my dh to come and see that the dog went on alert and ran outside to see what was up and started running around the yard barking. It was with cardinals so I'm hoping I will see more of them. Don't they eat bugs?

Marcia, I see chickadees occasionally and you're right, they are always with the tufted titmice. All very cool birds in my book!
