There is nothing quite so joyous as a Western Bluebird. I am really happy you got to see one today. The Western Bluebirds were nearly wiped out by DDT, but little by little, over the past decade, they have been making a comeback. I rejoice every time I see one. Jack London State Park is a good bet if you want to go looking for them again...but...you know how that is when you go looking for something specific! It seems harder to find it. Sometimes, birding is just good luck. I celebrate your bluebird with you. Nothing else in our environment is that specific shade of blue. Congratulations, Flower Lady!

I was so excited, I nearly jumped out of my SKIN! I still can't believe it!
