Pardon the nasty dead section under our bird feeders. We may be seeing a little green grass but warm gardening temps aren’t here yet.
.
.
That being said, the bluebirds don’t seem to mind.
.
.
They’re such bright little creatures.
.
.
And we weren’t the only ones who thought so….
.
.
Because this Kestrel showed up shortly after the bluebirds fled.
.
.
The smallest hawk, he’s not one we see often.
.
.
But he made himself at home that day …
.
.
Flitting from the deck railing…
.
.
To the bird feeder post.
.
.
Fortunately for the bluebirds, he went away hungry.

River's world..... 
Love seeing so many of my cousins at your bird feeder.

Early spring is the only time. Not sure where they go after that….

The hawk is beautiful, but I’m guessing he had something besides birdseed in mind.

That hawk doesn’t look like it has any trouble finding food.

Warm gardening temps are here for me and I’m going to start this weekend! I’m so excited.
I rarely see bluebirds around here. Wish I did. We get bluejays instead. they’re such bullies.

They’re here, and then poof! They’re gone and we don’t see them until next year.

I haven’t seen bluebirds around here, but we do have plenty of blue jays.
