Backyard Bird Boutique: Welcome February!

Can you believe it...February is here! There are so many things going on this month!

Bluebird Houses
The Great Backyard Bird Count
The Olympics
Valentines Day (for the love birds!💕)

Today, we hung our Bluebird House! I'm pretty excited about it! This is our first bluebird house. We had bluebirds a few years ago but, last year we didn't see very many. So, I'm going to try to attract them back to our yard by providing them a home! I've been reading and mealworms seem to be their 'go to' snacks! I'm going to pick some up tomorrow. If you have any tips on attracting bluebirds to your yard, please feel free to post them here. I'll also keep you updated on what I find works best.

🐦 The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC)

The GBBC starts next weekend, February 16-19, 2018! Please participate in this! It's a lot of fun and you can watch for only a few minutes or for as many hours as you'd like! Scientist and bird enthusiasts can learn a lot by knowing where birds are. Learn more about the GBBC by clicking on the links below. I'll be posting my results next week! I'm blocking off a few hours to watch my yard and possible sight a few new birds!

❤ Happy Valentines Day!

Don't forget...this Wednesday is Valentines Day! I hope everyone has a sweet Valentines Day! 💕
My niece called me to tell me that she is making a Valentine Box with bluebirds on it! Olivia is in the 4th grade and their school mascot is the bluebird! I couldn't imagine how she was going to pull this off...but she never ceases to amaze me! She sent me a picture and my mind was blown! They even made the pom poms they used for the tree and bluebirds! She is super creative! This is just incredible!
