in which there is some happy bluebird news :D
i went downstairs to talk with my mom and saw something pecking away at the elderberry bush i planted a few years ago. then two somethings. then three.
in fifteen minutes i saw at least four bluebird babies (i think actually six, since i was trying to count males and females), two cedar waxwings, and a catbird.
our babies came home! (and this is the first cedar waxwing i've seen on the property)
