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.

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.

They are not all over the country. And in the north they have mountain bluebirds.
