Neat! I wish we had more bluebirds around here. The only blue birds we see in these parts are bluejays, which are visually quite beautiful, but being part of the Corvidae family, they sound awful and they're kinda jerks. Sometimes it seems like the only birds we see in Edmonton are crows, magpies, and the occasional bluejay. And sparrows.
