Father Blue Bird

Although I don't have any kids, I like to say I'm the proud "father" of a successful, breeding, bluebird box, right in my own backyard.

The contemporary looking bird-box was made by none other than my Dad.

Thanks Dad! And happy Father's Day!

This is a tribute to my dad, the avid bird lover who gifted me the same passion, as well as the father bluebird, diligently and devotedly bringing home food for the two hungry chicks inside.

Although it looks as though he may selfishly be keeping that bright green grub for himself, he's actually trying to lure out the adolescent young birds whose time has come to fledge.
