Awesome bird!! Have not seen one this year, but one of my favorites.
I have seen a lot of mountain blue birds though.

I have Eastern Blue Birds that nest in all my tower nesting boxes. They are ruthless predators  :o
They control my water fountain while the are nesting, and come in to the fountain just before sunset to bath.  :tup:
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

Had a couple of them in my yard several years ago......only once. That's a rare photo because they prefer to be in the treetops of a forest and aren't common at ground level. When I first saw the colors, I thought it was an escaped parrot or exotic bird.

Saw them for the first time last year if I recall correctly. They were eating the berries on my hedgerow same time last year. The only reason I got the picture is because I heard a loud thump and the dumb SOB flew into my window and knocked himself silly. Thankfully he didnt break his neck, but it was probably a good 15 minutes before he was in the right mind to fly away.

Hopfully, you followed the proper 'concussion protocol'.

My wife has had one or two pairs off and on, for a lot of years.  They seam to be cyclic, as there won't be any one year, then a single one the next, and then we had two this year for the second year in a row.
Work to live, don't live to work.

You can educate away ignorance, sober up drunkenness, but you can't fix stupid.
