    What a beautiful bird. We have mainly parrots but few small birds, particularly ones as gorgeous as this.

    Dear Patty, what a delightful visitor – aren’t you spoilt
    Years ago I had a pair of little china birds and they looked exactly like this one!
    Happy days

    They are the sweetest birdies! And I see that you have some of those rusty wheely-thingies that I took a photo of recently! Some sort of tractor part?
    I miss the bluebirds so it’s nice to see them visiting you. Say hello for me!

    Patty, I didn’t know that bluebirds would overwinter that far north. I don’t see them in this area when it gets cold. He’s beautiful. You may have to provide him with an electric heater in his birdhouse.

    You are so fortunate! I have only seen a bluebird twice , and both times were in the last 5 years! Where I live, close to the city, we don;t have any. If I saw this more often I’d really be smiling! Just beautiful Patty!

    For some reason, I thought you would be showing us a bird covered in snow. Your photo is delightful and a joy to see, as always.

    I forgot to mention about yesterday’s post that my Natl Geographic mags are from the late 60s. The one I used in the post was from ’67. Marilyn Rock first reminded me why I didn’t get the results I was going for. You and she were right. I should have saturated the entire book, Then Cheryl Dolby’s comment reminded me that NevrDull was probably what I was thinking of to alter postcards. DUH!!!

    What beauty. I’ve never seen one before, it is like something out of a Disney film. Little wonder he visited when there is a beautiful home for him to perch himself on.

    Such a pretty little bird. I don’t think I’ve seen one like that around here. Love it perched on the funky piece of metal that is the perfect patina. YUM!

    Wonderful photos of such a dear creature. We don’t see these here in the west….but in 2011 I dressed as the bluebird of happiness for Halloween at school, and shared the stories, songs, and poems with my students.
