I can hardly wait to see the first bluebird of the season here in Minnesota. Last week we had migrants showing up, but today we've got another hit of winter. Your photo of the bluebird is my breath of spring for the day!

Hi Nancy,
Just got back from VA and my daughter has tons of bluebirds down there. They were emptying her feeders. I had to check to see what she was feeding them. It was the WBU Supreme Blend. I was amazed because I didn't think they liked seed all that well, but they loved that blend. Just had to share that with you.
