Yesterday, a pair of Eastern Bluebirds visited us as we staked out a place for the barn. (Naturally, we're staking the barn instead of the house!) We did not take this photo, but isn't he beautiful? Bluebird males attract potential females by showing them all around their territory. If the female likes his bachelor pad she'll stay. If not, she searches for a mate that will provide a better place to nest. Bluebirds don't often visit feeders, but appreciate nesting boxes.
