I took this screen shot from a video so it's not the finest quality but how would you like this in your backyard?  These people live near our mountain and have a fountain in their yard which is obviously known to the Mountain Blue Birds.  The only time I see them is when I go over that way.  I would sit all day watching them if I had this fountain.

Here's a closer look at a male.

@Kachina624I, too, would watch them all day.  I'll bring the iced tea and brownies.

@Kachina624 @just bee,

Oh wow! They are incredible!

I would love it.  Instead two days ago I had a pair of vultures/turkey buzzards sitting on our fence.  Big birds, and nothing pretty about them.

@Kachina624  So Beautiful! What a great shot with all those lovely little birds together.

    I have never seen a bluebird, other than just a picture. The only blue birds we see here are bluejays. We get a lot of the typical

east coast birds here. They come to our two birdbaths and we and our cat love watching them.

    Every morning, I put out a wild birdseed mix and peanuts for the squirrels and chipmunks. That is my cat's entertainment for the day. She's an indoor cat and watches from the screen door. There are too many coyotes here now, so cats can not go out.

@just bee  So pretty!

They are so cute!   the only 'blue' birds we have here are the Scrub Jays.   I always go out, when I have the breakfast ready and say 'Boo Bird!  Peanuts!' and they show up.   

They do love those peanuts.  It's funny how some of them will pick one up and it doesn't make the grade, so s/he will pick up another and another until it's just the right one, then take off to eat it elsewhere in the yard.
