It doesn't keep the birds from coming out, though, does it. While it was storming the other day I had a male Anna's Hummingbird seeking shelter in a Cape Mallow right outside my office window and a beautiful male dove sitting on my fence getting pelted by the rain. You are so lucky to have the bluebirds. I get to see them only when I'm camping.<BR/><BR/>Nice capture of the hummingbird in the tree, by the way. Mine like to perch at the highest point of the trees, making it difficult to photograph. I've hung multiple <A HREF="http://www.a1glasshummingbirdfeeders.com" REL="nofollow">hummingbird feeders</A> so I can bring them in close enough to shoot (camera), but it's been too cold and rainy to take any good ones, yet.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work! Much enjoyable!<BR/><BR/>Lindy<BR/><BR/>P.S. Good luck with your bird box this season! Please keep us updated :)Lindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16281331880005460660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012697417276288973.post-77538087040183539892009-02-21T19:27:00.000-08:002009-02-21T19:27:00.000-08:00Wow, beautiful photos!

It's great to see hummingbirds perch like that and take a rest after all that wing flapping they do.Diane AZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304549124035767882noreply@blogger.com
