Oh cool. Our birds are all staking out their rentals for spring too. This is either a Purple Martin or a violet green swallow I believe.. cant tell since its not that close. we have the Violet green swallows around us. They love these type of boxes.
Sounds like you have really interesting birds there Cris. I need to look up Purple Martin's and Violet green swallows. We do have Martin's and Swallows but they certainly haven't the colourful names yours have. I always have trouble recognising the difference between ours they are very similar.
I just spend a good time catching up with your blog! I always love reading about your trips. Spring is in the air, birds are busy here too, great pics!

spring has sprung!
Sure hope Hamish doesn't find her! ;)
It certainly seems to :-)
He's being kept away - just in case :-)

Hi Judy, glad you have enjoyed reading and seeing the pics from our trips. Yes, it really does feel like Spring is starting...about time, lol :-)
Good luck to the blue tit family!
It is lovely to see the birds in pairs now, getting ready for spring.
Spring, that sounds so good :-)
