~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There was an interesting story in the
Tampa Bay Times this past Thursday. Louis Nipper has built 266 bluebird boxes and placed them along the 46-mile span of the Withlacoochee State Trail. Because of his efforts,
bluebirds are now frequently seen in the area.
"They're beautiful," he said. "I love their vibrant blue color."
He sounds like a guy well suited for Blue Monday!
I got this picture of an Eastern Bluebird from here.
Here Mr. Nipper is seen checking for bluebird eggs in one of the houses he built.
He keeps track of the number of eggs. Here you see three beautiful Blue eggs.

ReplyDeleteI played too. Mine are here and here.
bluebirds are something we don't see in our neck of the woods
ReplyDeleteGood for him. I love bluebirds, too. The squirrels gnawed away at the hole in our bluebird house making it unsafe for the birds. We need to get another one for next year.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, dear Sally.♥ Thank you for hosting.
The bird is beautiful. Beautiful photos too
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sally...your photos of the bird and the nest full of eggs are lovely!

ReplyDeleteWhat a neat thing for him to do! I think we had one of those in our yard the other day, though I didn't get a good enough look to be sure.
ReplyDeleteI very rarely see bluebirds where I live, Sally. They are beautiful birds,and I'm glad people help them propagate by providing them with houses.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!

Hi Sally, I commented last night and Google didn't accept it when I tried to Publish. Anyway, we are glad to be home and sort of back to normal. It is in the low to mid 80's here. Perfect weather with some rain.
ReplyDeleteYes, Ashley can really jump. She is amazing. Of course at 5' 11" she has a good start. HA!
I love your bluebird post today. My favorite bird to admire. I am going back to read the article. The guy who does all of this is quite devoted to his hobby.
Happy Blue Monday Sally.
Hugs, Jeanne
