A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Hobbies, Crafts and Creativity The Bird Lovers Forum Bluebirds are taking over...........

Today's birds wondering around my porch roof....

those are great dodge. i'm not sure i've ever seen a real blue bird in person they are cute!

I don't think I've ever seen them either. But so much personality comes through in your pics, Barb. Good job and thanks.

GREAT SHOTS!!! That's they way bluebirds look! You nailed them. I took pictures of two bluebirds across the street from my house yesterday.

Thanks everyone .....I took those out the window.. It is my porch roof and I was in the bedroom . Had to hide so they didnt see me move.

Thank..........Personality.. I try for intresting shots......Still can't catch them in flight..That is hard, unlike hummers, who buzz around one spot sometimes.

It's VERY hard to get good flight shots of birds. We have a thread on Birders World Forum to show our GOOD flight shots. No one has put ANY pictures on there in MONTHS... and we have three of the BEST bird photographers in the world, that post new pics everyday, on the forum.

kEEP TRYING/..

Thorn can do it .

I think bluebirds are so cute.

I have not seen them at my house, but I always see them up at the barn where my daughter's horse is boarded. I also see flickers and orioles. Whenever I go up there I take my binoculars and bird book.

Here are some bad in flight photos of blue birds.
Least we see blue...LOL


Fighting again........

Dodge I also have seen lots of bluebirds yesterday and the day before I seen 7 of them I got a bluebird house but this pass spring the sparrows set up house and the bluebirds did not so last month I put a bluebird guard on the house so the sparrows and would you belive the black birds try to enter the house too? I am hoping next season they will come back? I wonder why I have seen so many now for? Rita

Were seeing oodles of the blue now...I guess they group for winter ??

goin crazy a little while ago.

They sure DO flock for Winter! Family groups of from 6 to 30 birds! These flocks will break up in March or April, but will stay together until then.

I got one right..

Hey Shirley posted on picli, dont know her name to find it yet.

nice picture barb!

Thanks.....They didnt hide from Ole Canon.....

I took 100 pictures of bluebirds yesterday. The horse pasture a mile from me had almost 50 bluebirds flocking and feeding, not to mention, House Finches, Wrens, Chickadees, Warblers (especially American Redstarts), Eastern Phoebes, And a single American Kestrel and rose Breasted Grosbeak. Pics at eleven.

Dang you Thorn,, where are the 100 photos?

b

If they stay together do they live the area? I live close to Cincinnati Ohio? I thought they leave before the cold weather comes?

Look on the thread, Thorny's Blues.

They should stay in your area. Check places like horse pastures or golf courses. Look on the thread, Thorny's Blues.

Yes they stay in Ohio as well as pa.
