Western Bluebirds were brought back from the brink of extinction one nesting box at a time. Really. We monitor the boxes every week and record what we see.

Huell Howser did a show with our club! Wanna see it? Here it goes… https://vimeo.com/1519714

Anybody use Haikubox, either at home or in the field? interested in feedback.

I'm a technology geek but have not invested in this tech yet.

I could build one w a Raspberry Pi but haven't gotten around to it yet...should probably buy a finished unit. haikubox.com/collections/...

It's #flyday?

I've very few BIF's bc I only take my iPhone on the trails...just to document nest/egg/nestling counts at each box. I am re-evaluating that this year.

This guy was mad at me, flying back/forth over people's heads, so I snapped a photo. 2nd is uncropped version.

A Western Bluebird is flying across the frame. The bird is blue with brown across the shoulders. The sky is blue. There are green treetops in the foreground and background. A park setting with a wandering concrete path passing through a grassy area. There are large trees along the right side and another toward the left of frame. There are four people walking three dogs on leash on the path. A male Western Bluebird can be seen flying across from tree on left toward right side, over the heads of the people.

Eastern Bluebird

Notice the nuance
Bluer than blue...
This small Eastern Bluebird with its tan and white chest has a bluer than blue head. He is perched on a large branch and looking off into the distance. The background is blue sky.

Seen this little bird in Yellowstone. While you are searching for Bears and moose you can't forget to overlook all the other wildlife.

#birds A male and female bluebird at the sunflower seed hearts feeder. When I'm slow getting the bluebird food out, they settle for that, but they make sure I know they are slumming it.

Cooper’s Hawk. From two families/nests in the trees behind our house. They’ve been there for years. The arborists sometimes come to our door to tell us (apologize?) that they won’t be able to trim the trees on schedule because of the nest activity. Yay!
#birds #birding #hawk
A hawk with white and reddish brown markings stands on a wall made of Slumpstone. In the foreground, a plant and house shaped birdfeeder are hanging. In the background, you can see the wall of a house and a tree trunk. The entire photo is a wash in a golden sunset color. Looking up into the sky, there are trees. These are liquid amber, also known as, sweet gum, trees. Way of high in Clusters of leaves are the nests of two Cooper’s Hawks.

Eastern Bluebird

Humble beauty...
The blue and tan Eastern Bluebird is perched on a branch looking down. There are other branches, and the background is a blurry green and yellow.
