Bluebirds in January

It's been a very warm winter so far. A flock of Bluebirds are busy every sunny day feeding and exploring nest boxes. Today was rainy, windy and then a bit sunny. The garden was full of winter Robins, Grackles, and our resident seed feeding crew (Sparrows, Cardinals, Sparrows). The Ruddy and Buffie Ducks spent the day surfing the waves.

I noticed the Bluebirds drinking from a tree craw. I missed the males, but I managed to catch a female on a nearby Pecan tree.
She was facing the wind, but that blue tail shone in the sunlight.

And I cropped the last one for a close view of this beauty!
