They want all the space. <br /><br />He took these through the kitchen and laundry room windows as the feeder is close to the kitchen. Interesting story about the bluebirds. They had just launched their babies a few days before this shot and for some reason, the male bluebird kept trying to get in the windows. He would fly to them and look in, over and over for 4 days. His mate would fly to the leaning tree (we have it propped up trying to save it) and try to get his attention. He (right) would fly to her (on left) but soon head back for our windows. Their babies were flying and hopping all around on the banks of the creek. He would not be distracted. We even carried out a big owl statue to try to scare him away and he just landed on its ear. We have a cute shot of that. <br /><br />Royal Highness Bird Whisperer--he'll love that! I wish he could get a video of a big woodpecker squawking at him when he goes outside. He'll hop down on low branches until R.H. goes inside and takes out fresh food for him.
