This week I had multiple sightings of bluebirds as I drove through the countryside near my home. At first I wasn’t sure I had actually glimpsed a male bluebird, but when I saw it and what I thought might be his female partner near the same location the next day I started paying more attention. Turns out I saw bluebirds nearly every day and in several locations. Yesterday I got a really good look at a pair on the road just up from my house. So I think they are here for good! For more information about the Eastern bluebird go to: http://www.nabluebirdsociety.org/ which is the North American Blue Bird Society page. Yesterday afternoon I went to my library and checked out a book about bird behavior and read more about bluebirds. I’m hoping the fact that they are around means we are almost to spring! I’ve known to be wrong about the spring thing before though, so don’t count on me…I’m about as reliable as the Ground Hog. But more optimistic!
As for the other things: Katie and I went to agility today. But turns out there isn’t another class starting! I was so confused, came home and looked at their webpage and it says there’s agility today. Will have to find out what the story is. Anyway, all that worry and decision making about whether or not to go…big waste of time. Which in general is what I find worrying often is…really. So Katie and I are going to go out and romp around in the wet snow. It’s much warmer today and the predicted rain hasn’t started. She can’t wait.

Ooopsie, we wonder what’s happened… how strange that the class wasn’t on when it was advertised on the web page.

The bluebird is the offical state bird of NY. I have lived in NY almost my entire life, and have never seen one. I always thought that was odd. Our local cooperative extension office always sells “bluebird houses”, maybe I will buy one this spring and see if I can attract one to my yard.
Wonder what happened with your class….
