Mixed up Birdie

October 10, 2018 by dorannrule

This little Bluebird of Happiness landed on my deck on a chilly rainy Supposedly-Autumn day.

Isn’t the arrival of bluebirds supposed to announce the arrival of Spring?

And just look at this confused little guy all puffed up to keep warm.

Is Autumn really on the way or what?

That’s a handsome bluebird. I don’t see them often here, and certainly not recently.

Maybe it’s compass broke and it doesn’t know which way is which …

Oh. lucky you. This birdie chose you. I can never get close to them. Wonderful captures. Your camera is a good friend, isn’t it.

What a pretty fellow even if he is confused about the season. I’m confused too because we’ve had summer-like heat and humidity and the leaves aren’t changing much yet. Isn’t it supposed to be fall???

Our bluebirds no longer migrate as they used to when I was a kid. There are enough (invasive species) berries to feed them all winter, which seeds they excrete to plant more and more. Great survival strategy, eh?

Autumn is on the way here Dora, Chilly mornings and chilly evenings, but warm in between.

That’s strange. We had bluebirds in our birdhouse for the first time this past summer. They are a delight to watch.

Perhaps it is joining the human crowd! 🙂

Definitely a sweet bird even though it may be confused about the season.

Aha! Thank you for the answer to my confused visiting bluebird. He is undoubtedly wintering over here in rural Virginia.

Your weather sounds just like ours Rita – so close but so far away.

I love it that they always seem so happy and make me smile.
