After several day’s absence, the Eastern bluebirds reappeared at the Backyard Buffet this morning. Unfortunately, our recent weather has not been kind to the little birds. Instead of sunshine and blue skies, they have been welcomed by rain, wind, and cold temperatures. This morning the weather was especially unpleasant and has gone from unpleasant to miserable as the day progressed.
When I spotted them through my kitchen window, I quickly grabbed the camera. Unfortunately, I had to shoot through a rain-streaked window and a lot of haze. Most of my pictures didn’t turn out so well, but here are two more that aren’t too blurry:
Eager to encourage regular visits, I set out a good feast, but I hope the stalwart little birds don’t get discouraged by the weather. They’re probably wishing they had taken a southern vacation instead of hanging around Lake Erie!
That’s today’s update from the Backyard Buffet.
Thanks for stopping by.
Maybe we’ll have better weather for your next visit.

I’m glad you like them. With their blue feathers, they are very bright spots in our dull winter landscapes.

Those photos came out pretty darned well. I especially love the first one, with the bluebird on the rabbit garden ornament.

Thanks, Laurie. That is my favorite. I was surprised it turned out at all. The light was so bad.

The weather is typical for January, as in never king what to expect. 🙃

Darn autocorrect! That was supposed to say…”as in never knowing what to expect.” With autocorrect, I never DO know what to expect!

I’m so happy to see the little bluebirds. That last pic of the male and female, almost as mirror images, is fabulous.

Thank you, Judie. I was delighted to see them again. I wish I knew where they are spending their nights and escaping from the nasty weather.
