Boo hoo!
I don't either.
Do you have a State Park that takes in injured animals?
We have one here and they take all kinds of wild life in to nurture them back to health!
And Bluebirds are finicky about their homes.
Get a Blue bird house and book that tells the info on them.
You probably can get them to your yard. My book says their habitat is in IL.
I live in Texas now. So...no bluebirds I guess.
Well, I went to check on the little dove, and there
was just a little pile of feathers. *sigh*
Some mean cat just took him while I wasn't looking. *sniff*
{{{ HUGS }}} to you, FRiend! ;-)
I hope the storms are just rain and thunder! ;-)
Everything's going great here!
My NEW yard guys are here and they have got me hopping.
New kids that don't do things right.;\
We had the other fellows for 7 years, and they went into the commercial business and sold their residential business.
So...of course....I have to go and supervise...;-)
But if I don't, they weedeat the plants falling over the rocks! (shaking my head)...
Don't they know they're not supposed to do that??????? ;-)
But other than that!!! Everything's rocking right along!
Need rain to wash off the pollen and that's coming...so we're doing great! ;-)
Oh poor baby...I'll sniff with you!
But...good news....you have Bluebirds in Texas too!
As a matter of fact, ALL of Texas!
Get a Bluebird book.....and a house and position it just right in your yard...and.....!!!
You'll be surprized to see them building a nest.
They don't like trees close to it, or shrubs either.
And 100 or so feet apart.
That's the reason you can see Bluebird houses out on fence posts along the road, in open fields.

Here's another site that might encourage you! ;-)
This one is better.
I am sooooo sorry about the dove.
They are sweet birds, but nasty house keepers!
Their nests are a mess!!!!
They lay eggs in the most precarious nest sites.
Amazing that, they're actually so prolific!
Thanks for those links! I will look for them. They must hide quite well. I live in the desert area of Texas, and I just assumed that they wouldn't like it here!
I don't! LOL!

They are nasty! But I love to hear mourning doves in the distance...it is peaceful.
Oh sweet one...God has you there for a purpose.
Maybe to put out Bluebird houses!
They are so beautiful and loving.
My DIL and son moved to AR of all places! And bless her heart...she liked to have fallen apart wanting to come back home.
Their children were so wanting to see their friends... it was pitiful.
But finally after 3 years....she has acclamated! Thankfully!
Son has a marvelous job and they finally found a Church.
That helped tremendously!
West, west Texas is the year round area for the Eastern Bluebird. The rest of the State is summer breeding area.
Yay! I will have to go find a house for them and see if I can attract a family. They are such little jewels!
h!!Mayor.....#50!!
AAC.....#100!!
Luv.....#150, #250, #350!!
ms b.....#200!!
Enjoy your dirt! Too cool about the bluebird eggs. ((HUGS))
Good afternoon, Pusterfuss...((HUGS))...how is your global warming doing? 60s? 70s? 80s?
Hi Kathy. It's a little gloomy but it is sixty out. Should be a rainy week-end. How is Alaska?
She certainly has grown. I guess that's what they do...
How about yours? They all doing okay?
Circle of life...the cat'll get his.
You're right, dear!
Judgement could be.....just around the corner! ;-)
But they sure are cute little fellows when they're just kitties.
I'm actually a "dog" person. Someone else can keep the cats! ;-)
{{{ HUGS }}} to you too dear!
Hope you're well today.
Hey!
You have BIG mooses in your yard, girl! ;-)
Thanks for those pictures!
