You never know what to expect these days. I was out checking on the cats in the screen room just now and heard a splash.
Grabbed my camera and from the deck I saw a bluebird taking a dip in the bird bath. He stayed a few minutes. I was several feet away but managed to get a few photos.
So excited to see this bluebird. It has been awhile. When I came inside I saw two more splashing. How cool. My day has been made.
Also, I saw spots, meaning it was juvenile. Could have been born here in my yard. Very cool.

That would have made my day as well.
A beautiful thing to behold, and even better to capture.
I had a Jackdaw on the bird feeder eating some cat biscuits.
Sadly I didn't have my phone handy to take another sub standard photo lol

@crazyhorseladycx It was very exciting to see those spots. I can get lost in nature in my backyard.

You were watching those nests closely, I'm sure those bluebirds didn't wander far from your yard! What an amazing photo

@CarolDM But, birds return to where they originated. That's what Dad said, anyway. Whether it's true or not, I wouldn't know.

@kobesbuddy Yes they do, but I was only saying they were born in a house. They should be around all winter.

That is so exciting! Hopefully it becomes a regular especially if it did come from the nest in your yard!
