Good Bluebird Mojo

Among the good things happening here this winter is the continued presence of an Eastern Bluebird family group. I've been watching them on BirdCam for a little more than a month now and there's solid evidence we have three birds: a mating pair (presumably) and a juvenile male. They hang together tightly, although I'm pretty sure that will come to an end once things warm up again. The bluebirds are working at two kinds of suet, both cakes and nuggets. The camera also suggests that they're visiting frequently across the day, so insect supplies are now surely tighter than these carnivores would like. All this is good for us observers. I'm always delighted to keep this good stuff happening!
