I'd read that they used to be as common as robins. My oldest sister put up a bluebird house while in our teens, however, we never got bluebirds--we didn't have the right habitat for them, I think.<br /><br />Do you have a lot of open space, if not in your yard, in the area? <br /><br />Here's hoping you get to see them more often.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531776890396557061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624649637319435773.post-91797856191143609152013-11-30T19:41:50.930-05:002013-11-30T19:41:50.930-05:00Jealous!

I'm looking forward to many more such moments in the years to come.<br /><br />Although I've yet to touch upon it (although I do plan to), I've felt almost close to despair at not so much how little progress I feel I'm making but mostly by the crown vetch and mugwort (and other invasives) that seem to be winning out! :( However, several things have come together in the past few weeks that have me renewing my efforts. I'm now more dedicated than ever to achieve my dream.<br /><br />(Mid-reply, I heard the now familiar nasally call of the pileated woodpecker, and got another photo or two--plus a video. :)<br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531776890396557061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624649637319435773.post-21924459393380091802013-11-24T19:02:12.572-05:002013-11-24T19:02:12.572-05:00What a wonderful, joyful post!
