Bird Ramblings - Bluebirds

Western Bluebirds have made an early appearance and have been visible here in Dallas Retirement Village for several weeks. This Western Bluebird was photographed on January 24th at Kirk and Cheryl Wagener's Garden Home backyard feeder. Cheryl had alerted me earlier to their presence. Western Bluebirds always show up early and seem to be interested in the area, checking out nesting boxes. Then, suddenly they disappear for about a month, which I suggest is a honeymoon period, before coming back 
 in a serious effort of nest building.
