These are beautiful birds.. we have them and Western Bluebirds here... they are amongst the very first to return in March.
We have a large number of Bluebird boxes through out our province and this is largely why our populations are returning to numbers that are most pleasing.. we have two Bluebird boxes on our property but they only visit us .. so far... but we have four more nesting boxes to put up prior to them arriving again... here is hoping they stay and nest this year!

Gaye, yours are much more colorful than ours. Ours are closer to a steel blue type. That is interesting. Very nice colors indeed!

IAN: Thanks.. we have some really gorgeous birds and it is surprising actually when you think where we are. I always attributed colourful birds to more tropical areas.We do have some beauties.

BRIAN: the actual colouring can vary but never ever are they steel blue.. they range from the MOST gorgeous turquoise blue to an azure... but always they are beautiful and when ther is a flock of them flying with the sun on them.. that is pure mind candy!

They are more skittish when they are here, but I will have to see if I can get a photo for you this Spring. You won't believe it could be the same bird.
