A Field Of Bluebirds

Well, I'm back again. And I'll hopefully be posting more often because I have too much to show you for the schedule I've been on. No more talking about bags of medicine either. I meant to be funny when I mentioned it, but it looked like whining when I read it again. So now it's all about birds. Bluebirds!

In my last post I said that there were birds all around me at that park, but what I didn't mention was that most of those were bluebirds.That was only a day or two after I commented on a couple of blogs that I hadn't seen any bluebirds since coming to my new place. Those must have been the magic words.

I had just been thinking while I was on the trail that with Isabella with me I wouldn't be seeing too many animals anymore.About a quarter mile away we reached this valley and everything changed. The birds all came out to play.

I wasn't sure what I was seeing at first because I really thought there would be no bluebirds around here. I have no idea how that thought got in my head. But I began seeing all of these brilliant blue streaks zooming by us. I thought maybe they were a kind of bird I had never seen before.

Soon I saw those little red breasts and I knew they were Eastern Bluebirds. It made me so happy to find out I was wrong about my assumptions. I really love bluebirds. I didn't really have them very close where I used to live, but I could find them at some of the other parks. These are just down the road from me.

Isabella wanted desperately to chase every little bird she saw, but I made sure to hold her back. In her excitement she ruined a few potentially good pictures, but5 she was generally well behaved. After that scare with her on the top of Stone Park I had to get her a new collar. Her old one fell off of her. I'm glad it waited until she was home.

I plan on going back to Five Ridge Prairie very soon so I can get some even better pictures of these little blue angels. I can't wait!

But I still have some great stuff to show you from recent trips. You're going to love what I have waiting. Hopefully it will be in only a day or two this time.

And I can't forget some things from Nature Center Magazine. We'll be having more interviews with some of your favorite bloggers very soon. We've gotten a very good response with the interviews so far. Keep looking to see who's next!
