Over the Rainbow








These tiny little bluebirds live near our house and each spring they set up a nest in our bluebird house to lay their eggs. We have two couples fighting (literally) over this domocile. One couple seems to have won the rights and they sit on top of the box and rule over the nearby feeder. The male is gorgeous and the female is duller, but pretty. They are nasty birds, but we enjoy their antics and love to watch them build the nest and later feed the babies. Last year there was loud chirping and the parents were very busy flying in and out with food.
