Some old friends return

This morning marked the return of our old friend the Eastern Phoebe. This is one of my favorite birds and it's great to see them return. They eat insects all day long. Patiently waiting in a tree and then flying out just to grab a single insect and returning to the same branch to wait for the next flyby. Earlier this week the Bluebirds also returned and are carefully evaluating our nest boxes to pick the perfect one for them. Another great insect eating, these birds always hang out around our garden.
