But they are making a comeback of sorts.<BR/><BR/>Ginger- Thanks. I saw more of them today and will have to figure out what they are.<BR/><BR/>Mary- The Tree Swallows do perch frequently for short periods of time.

I saw one 2 summers ago in my backyard, and so put up a bluebird nesting box, in hopes of attracting bluebirds to nest. Didn't work,yet, but I'm not giving up hope.<BR/>Your pics are awesome. It is so nice to watch spring arrive.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments on my blog, re aqua fit classes.

I haven't seen a female visiting there, but she probably does. My neighbor has several feeders, a source of water, a bird bath and all the great things that lure bird species to our yards. I really want to make my yard more bird friendly.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tour. I always enjoy going along withMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-63762706948700262452008-04-22T10:27:00.000-04:002008-04-22T10:27:00.000-04:00Hi Ruth - I guess the warmer weather enticed that ...Hi Ruth - I guess the warmer weather enticed that bluebird to check out your corner of the world. Hopefully it will find itself a mate, and then you can see more bluebirds! Great shot of the tree swallow, too. I'm not sure I have ever seen a tree swallow. But I saw a bunch of cliff swallows last Saturday flying around catching bugs on the wing. Swallows, in general, are so "flighty."
