Eliza Waters 
What a beautiful bird..!! 😊
Thank you Madam for sharing..
Thank you!
You are welcome Madam.. 😊
A beautiful moment captured Eliza 👏🌈
This is special.
Thank you, Anne. These are some of our prettiest birds and are early nesters. It checked out the bird box, but I think they prefer a bigger open area, like my neighbor’s pasture where I see them frequently.
So sweet Eliza. I saw one a few weeks ago, but it didn’t sit still long enough to have its picture taken. Thanks so much for sharing. I needed that on this gloomy, rainy day. At least it’s going to get very warm.
Thank you, Cindy, glad to bring some cheer. I heard that your temps are going to soar. That jet stream has been really wild lately.
What a little beauty!
Thank you, Pete! I felt privileged to have it visit. 🙂
Lovely! He’s asking, “Eliza, where’s Spring?” 🙂
Thanks, Donna! He and his mate checked out the nest box, but I guess it didn’t pass muster, alas.
What a wonderful visitor you have there to perk your spirits right up.
Yes, indeed, I’ve been blessed by the bluebird of happiness! 😉
Reblogged this on Blue Dragon Journal.
Thank you for reblogging!
Bluebirds are so adorable! Now Louis Armstrong’s song will be playing in my head a l l d a y ! Will be teaching that to my grand daughter!
Not a bad ear worm to have these days! 🙂
Nice Eliza! Always fun to see a Bluebird!
Indeed, thanks, Reed!
He looks like he’s not worried in the least about the coronavirus.
Birds and pets are blissfully ignorant, bless them, I wish sometimes I was, too. 😉
😊
Thanks for sharing the beautiful bluebird, I had to smile at the wonderful woods in the background and his choice of enjoying the deck!
Thank you, Susan. It was wonderful to have him so close to the house. Cheered me right up!
Such a cheerful sight! We don’t have bluebirds around our house. Too much in the woods, I suppose.
Thank you, Laurie. I keep hoping that a pair will use the nest box in the background, but beyond checking it out, none yet. Wrens and chickadees have been the only takers in past years.
Fingers crossed!
Beautiful!!!
Thank you, Kathy! Hope you both are doing well. 🙂
What a fortuitous shot!
Indeed, right outside my kitchen window – a happy sight to see. Hope you are doing well, Lisa.
I’m home for the duration, teleworking, as technically I am high risk, being over 60. Luckily, I can still garden!
Yes, we gardeners have a ready way to bust stress. I’ve started clearing out gardens and it feels good to be out in the air and sunshine. Stay well!
You too!

Thank you for reblogging!
How nice to have a bluebird of happiness on your deck. I had vultures…not sure what that means.
Haha, your comment made me laugh. I looked up their symbolism: ‘As a symbol, Turkey vulture represents strength, perceptiveness, wisdom and seriousness.’ Not too bad!
That makes me feel better. Actually, it was pretty neat that they were hanging out on the porch. I enjoyed Robins yesterday. They will be heading up north soon.
QT!!
🙂 ❤
What a cutie!
That he is – thanks, Maria!
A symbol of serenity amongst the chaos.
Yes, indeed. We all could use a ‘bluebird upon our shoulder.’
What an exquisite little bird. (The woodland/forest background is lovely too.)
Thank you, Carol. One of our earliest breeders, their songs have been filling the air. Most welcome!
I gather that bluebirds are iconic – I will see if I can find a recording of the song. Must be so nice to have such signs of spring, especially during these anxious times.
They are quite melodic. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Eastern_Bluebird
Our daily walks in Nature are about the only thing keeping us sane. I had a nice yoga session today, too. 🙂
Oh thanks for the link Eliza – it is a melodic and quite cheery call.
Walks in nature and yoga both sound soothing. We all need means to take us away from the anxiety, even if only as a reprieve.
One of the best sightings in early Spring! Do you have a bluebird box Eliza?
Yes, it is! There is a nest box in upper left of the photo. The pair did check it out, but I guess it wasn’t to their liking. My neighbor up the road usually gets bluebirds in his fields, but I think my yard might not be big or open enough for them. That box has hosted wrens and chickadees, so at least there is that.
We used to get swallows in our box … very entertaining. Bluebirds can be quite fussy. They came here for years and then simply stopped showing up. Other people have been putting up boxes in better situations, so I can’t blame them! They are delightful though 💕
Love this adorable bluebird. 😁
Thank you, Irene. He’s quite the cutie!
Delightful 😊
🙂 The birds are keeping us going through all this chaos!
What a handsome fellow
Thank you, Karina!
Beautiful outside guest
Yes, a pleasure to see. 🙂
BIRD!!!
😀
Why hello there sweet little creature, such a beauty! ❤ I had an unusual dream about bluebirds the other night and it really left me contemplating what the meaning of it could be. I never came up with anything, but now seeing this cute little one may set me on the path of doing some more digging… 🙂
Thank you, Julie. Their sweet song always cheers me when I hear it, which as spring commences, comes more often. 🙂
Lovely to see him. I find the birds going about their business at the moment hugely comforting. Take care!
Thank you, Cathy, same here.
Ah, so lovely!
Thank you!
So peaceful!
So pretty! I used to love seeing bluebirds on my Canadian travels.
Thank you, Adele!
My favorite songbird. Not only are they cute but they are nice to all the other birds too. We had boxes in NJ and now we see both Mountain and Western Bluebirds here. I put up a box and they look but others who are more aggressive always win out. 😦
Bluebirds are such beauties. Here, tree swallows vie for nest boxes, but with lots of older trees and snags, there are lots of sites for cavity nesters.
