Western Bluebirds live at The Holler, but basically never visit The Holler Spa.
So you can imagine how thrilled I was when these beauties showed up in force!
I am convinced they came,
as bluebirds of happiness,
to wish you a very Merry Christmas and even Happier New Year!
To you and yours this season,
and into the New Year,
Cheers from The Holler~

We used to be thrilled to see these birds – they were rare in the north – because they meant that spring had arrived there.
They are here at The Holler, but rarely close enough to photo, and basically never in the bird baths, so I think this is a Christmas gift to all of us! 🎅
A real treat!
<3
They are so beautiful Cindy. Merry Christmas!
Christmas Blessings to you Lynn. 🎅
These are gorgeous!
Thank you my friend & cheers to you <3
Pool party of stars! They are so beautiful. 🙂 Enjoy your holidays, Cindy!
These are my, and your, kinda stars! The deserving ones! 🎅
They’re so beautiful and cute when all fluffy and wet from a bath.
Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year too!
When they fluff up to dry off they are at their most endearing! Holiday blessings to you 🎅
These are gorgeous, Cindy!!!!!! Merry Christmas!
Blessings to you and yours 🎅
Delightful Christmas guests… What special joy they have brought to your garden, Cindy. Wishing you and yours a beautiful Christmas and a blessed New Year! <3
Another Christmas spent with you Bette is another blessing <3 🎅
What a treat Cindy! I so enjoy your blog and photography! Thank you for sharing all the beautiful visitors at the Holler. Merry Christmas to you and your family and of course Herbert! 🎄
Holiday Blessings to you and yours <3 🎅
Okay…. now you have Bluebirds!
Again, here in the city, we have sparrows, grackles, pigeons, (some ducks, sea gulls, Canada Geese and swans if you live by the lake).
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
I want to live by your lake! Happy Holidays Sweetie 🎅
LOL!!! You will wallow in sea gulls, swans and ducks! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! Quack, honk and hissssss! xo
Fantastic way to send us happiness, they are beautiful. Health and happiness to you and your family Cindy
Holiday Blessings to you and your family Pauline 🎅
Beautiful but then so is that birdbath. we have eastern Blue birds that nest in our boxes in the Spring Love watching for the first flights.
Oh I would love this! how wonderful! Cornell estimates there are about 22 million Eastern Bluebirds, and about 6.7 million Western Bluebirds. Seeing them out west close enough to photograph is a rarity for me.
I have never seen bluebirds in a bird bath, Cindy, how very fortunate that you were there to welcome them. Terrific photos (love the penultimate one especially) and a sweet message. My very best wishes to you for a holiday filled with peace and happiness.
All the best to you this season and into the next year my friend. I look forward to sharing the new year with you 🎅
So very beautiful! Thank you, Cindy for sharing the beauty and excitement with us.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Merriest Christmas Amy and thank you so much for sharing the excitement with me! <3
Phenomenal photos that look like oil paintings. HAPPY HOLIDAYS and may you continue to find spectacular art in nature.
Awww, sweet Dor! Thank you, and Merriest of everything to you <3

I’ve always wanted to see a bluebird. Your photos are the first I’ve seen with groups of them. All the better!
Makes it seem a gift that I could show you then. Happy Christmas!
They’re beautiful!
