BLUEBIRDS!!!

We have bluebirds in our yard!!

 They arrived yesterday, January 4, 2013.  We have never had them here, let alone in the winter.  Our neighborhood is not conducive to bluebirds - no meadow and lots of woods.  But there they were, big as life, sitting on the feeder.  They sampled some of the peanuts. This morning, there were two females and a male.  We went out and got them some mealworms but we haven't seen them back yet. 
Very cool!  It is a new yard bird for us.

Pictures were taken through the window with my Canon RebelXT, 70-300 lens - I should was the windows if I'm going to continue taking pictures through them!
