ok Joe I made it. signed on to yahoo. wasn't really interested in getting a new email but what the heck. guess that is where the blog announcements will come. not sure. I love Jens' haircut. did you do it? your mom looks good. I am glad she is happy. as far as the blue birds, I don't think they will feed off the floor. do you have a bird feeder that is off the ground? put a bird house 4 to 5 feet off the ground. they love insects and berries. You may want to try placing dried fruit and/or chopped peanut kernels on a platform type feeder.

There are other ways to lure these birds, the best of which is to offer them mealworms in a tray feeder.

Bluebirds are very fond of mealworms, and if they are presented alive, and in a tray feeder, there is a possibility of success. Get the worms at a pet store.
They like birdbaths with moving water that they can hear splashing.
Best of luck and success in all you do.
love cousin Maria
