As for seeing the real thing, we have them in our yard every year, so come on down! This year, the tree swallows evicted the bluebirds from their nest on the first try at nesting, so we had to make an emergency call from the bird people here. Gawd bless 'em, they came over and helped us position the boxes properly, and we got a brood of 5 little ones out of that! Of course, there was a price to pay . . . I now have a route of 20 boxes to monitor each season!Susan Scheidhttp://prufrocksdilemma.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-33220539704208031512014-01-24T20:37:42.122+00:002014-01-24T20:37:42.122+00:00If I saw that bird in my garden, Pat, I'd thin...If I saw that bird in my garden, Pat, I'd think I'd eaten too many magic mushrooms.The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-26852640999626568332014-01-24T15:11:40.774+00:002014-01-24T15:11:40.774+00:00I find this almost painful Robert.

'Bluebird', however, is exceptional in its own right, I think.<br /><br />Bukowski incorporates some of the freewheeling spirit of Henry Miller and Jack Kerouac, I feel.<br /><br />I'll back you, George.
