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~

They look splendid. 🎈
Thank you. They are <3
Beautiful!

Merriest Christmas and Happiest New Year to sweet friend! <3
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones, including those with fur and with feathers. 😁🎄 I always love looking at your photos. Thank you for sharing them.
Thank you so much more for appreciating them & Merry Christmas you to Sarah <3
These are delightful chaps – I especially liked the one after he’s had a bath!
Yes, well, he’s bit blurry, but he looks much better than I do after a bath! Merry Christmas Emma <3
Ha! Ha!

Such nice photos! My new favorite birds.
Ahhhh, grateful for you!
Agreed. Merry Christmas Cindy!
Happiest New Year! ❤ 🕛

Aww, they are such sweeties. And the greetings they carry are even sweeter. Merry Christmas to you, too.
Merry Christmas & Blessed New Year Mandy <3

Oh, Cindy, they are beautiful. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours. xxx
Thank you Adele. I send the same prayer back to you <3
I have these beauties though the Eastern variety and like you they are here but seldom venture into my space. They came for that clean water you have out and to make your day. Mine come to devour beef suet from the butcher on miserable days of cold and snow. 🙂 Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas sweet friend. And may the Blessings of the New Year follow you <3
You as well <3
Happy New Year Eunice! ❤ 🕛
Happy New Year to you and your family Cindy.
ich wünsche uns inneren und äußeren Frieden
Ich wünsche Ihnen die Segnungen von Weihnachten und das glücklichste und gesündeste neue Jahr! <3
alles klar, bis dann, Klaus
Frohe Neues Jahr Klaus ! ❤ 🕛
vielen Dank

Marvelous images, as ever. Thank you very much Cindy! Have a wonderful Christmas, and a great start into the New Year! Michael
Thank you so much. Christmas Blessings to you and may they last in the New Year <3 🤶
You too, Cindy! Blessings to you and yours! Have a wonderful time, too! 🤶🤶🤶 Michael
Hope your Christmas was wonderful and Happy New Year! 🕛
Oh, they are so cute! <3 I wish you a wonderful Christmas, and a peaceful and carefree start into 2019.
I wish all the blessings of the Season for you and into the New Year! <3 🤶
They are so lovely!… 😀 As I hadn’t heard of them except here and there in a song, had a talk with Google. It turns out they do not live in Europe at all… except maybe in someone’s home in a cage to brag with? Ough! Hate THAT idea!…
Even here they are disproportionately distributed. There are about 22 million Eastern Bluebirds, and about 6.7 million Western Bluebirds. They are different birds, and they are faring differently geographically, which is why it is wonderful they decided to come visit us for the holidays!
You can still count in millions! 🙂
Europe is so full of people, roads, highways and buildings that a lot of birds disappear by and by… Even in my little jungle I start seeing the difference… and keep hoping they will come back…
The loss of habitat for wild creatures is so sad. California is becoming paved with strip malls.
Sadly, southern New Hampshire seems to be going the way of the strip mall as well.
It seems to be the madness of our times… :-/
Yes.
What a delightful surprise to have them visit and play! We have bluebirds too, and a local pottery community that makes glass ones! Merry Christmas Cindy! 🎄 🎅 🕯️
Merry Christmas Brad, And I send wishes for the best and brightest 2019 for you. I look forward to sharing the year with you. <3 🤶
Thank you so much for the kind wishes Cindy. It’s a joy to share the journey with you. Hugs! 🎅 <3
Happiest New Year to you Brad and look forward to sharing 2019 with you! ❤ 🕛
Likewise Cindy. May it be a year of peace and trust.
That is such a happy sight. All your bluebirds playing in the sunshine. Nothing but grey here and rain. Grateful it’s not snow and ice though. Merry Christmas, Cindy.
Merriest Christmas to you Marlene, and the Best of the Best of the New Year is my wish for you! I look forward to sharing 2019 with you.
I am up spending Christmas with the newborn twin boys, 2 1/2 months old now!
Peace and safety for all <3 <3 🤶
Thank you for your Christmas wishes, Cindy and right back to you. Christmas with new twins is what the season is all about. How exciting for you. Hope you take pictures for us. Hugs and love. M
Oh those babies are adorable! Thank you Marlene & hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

Hi Cindy! Bluebirds are some of the most beautiful birds around; seeing them always brings happiness!
Yes, they do bring happiness, even more so in the west, where their numbers are about a third of the eastern variety. Happy Holidays to you!
I hadn’t realized that western bluebirds’ populations were so low.
I hadn’t either…..
And happy holidays to you too!
Happiest New Year to you Josh! ❤ 🕛
The same to you!
