Retired POC. Blue dot in a red US state (IN). I take pictures of nature around me. All photos were taken by me (none are AI). Avatar: Power Puff girl me. Banner: 2 bluebirds fighting over a feeder. I block easily. If you have no original posts, I won’t be following you.
Surprise! My old instance, which was offline for weeks, and I assumed was dead, has reappeared and with it, my old posts. If you want to see more pictures of nature, it will be there for awhile.

“To be silent the whole day long, see no newspaper, hear no radio, listen to no gossip, be thoroughly and completely lazy, thoroughly and completely indifferent to the fate of the world is the finest medicine a man can give himself.”

We got a visit from a small flock of American robins today. They, along with the blue jays, tend to be bullies at the feeders. These just came to drink and then left. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #robins
These bluebird fights are over so quickly, I can't really see what happens. However, the camera sees all.The males seem to be particularly nasty, probably because mating season is coming soon (in February). #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds
It's getting a little warmer, so the bluebirds are not getting along again. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds
Last winter, we had 13 bluebirds in the yard, but this year there are only 9 (one is in the feeder). #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds

Starling to bluebird: "My little friend, I suggest you exit in THAT direction (points with wing)."

Bluebird: "This is so not fair. I was here first."

The bluebird left a moment later.

Bluebirds look so cute, but when it comes to food, they can be fiercely competitive. "There can be only one!" (Bluebird in the feeder at a time, that is.)
