BLUEBIRDS ARE BACK IN GOOD NUMBERS

Photographed this female Bluebird at the old iron mines pond area south of Spring Valley, Mn.  She is sitting on an old nesting box.  Both the male and female Bluebirds were present in good number.  We have had cold rainy weather since their arrival, but every year they seem to manage to survive a bad stretch in the spring.  Some Bluebirds will stay and nest in this area, while others will travel farther north.
