Thanks for you kind comments everyone...I am really enjoying this obsession!

Tamara.. Tab have given you some excellent advise and the only thing I can add is a bird bath is very attractive to all of the birds. I noticed last spring and summer the Blues would use it every evening for bathing...such a blast to watch!! They are such clean little birds. Another place to check is the Sialis website, http://www.sialis.com . There is so much information there and probably the answer to most of your questions about Blues. I have noticed that the female likes to eat sunflower hearts from the feeder and the male likes peanut butter suet.

Pelle..I was able to get some shots of the fledges this morning. They were in the maple tree in the front yard and I was able to hide under a willow tree to get these pics. No sun and low light but luckily was able to get close enough.

This one shows 3 fledges, the one is front giving me the evil look is a female and the other 2 are males.
