Today I saw some bluebirds checking out the nest can. They've been doing this for a couple weeks now. It doesn't look like they've settled in yet.

These tree swallows have been checking out the big bird house too. Last year they did the same but didn't nest. I was told this house if for purple martins but I've never seen one in the area.

If you know anything about tree swallows you can appreciate how difficult it was to get this shot:

  1. Hey Craig! Awesome bird shots. I found your site on the "Tell us about yourself" DPS post. I thought I'd stop in and say hello.

    I've had some trouble capturing birds - they always come out blurry and out of focus - I probably should figure out what I'm doing wrong lol.

    Anyways I'll try my best to stop by every now and again to see what you've posted - have a wonderful Friday!
