I was just sitting on the back porch smoking a Nat Sherman Metropolitan I got from Bam Bam in a trade. (BTW, they're a great cigar. I just grabbed the rest that he was selling. You lose. 
)
Anyhow, while I was sitting there a flight of bluebirds few into the yard, and have been there now for about an hour. Must be about 2 dozen. I stayed pretty quiet, and they seemed to have no fear of me, and came within about 15 feet. They would fly down to the grass and pick up seeds (or at least that's what I presume they were getting) and then fly back up to the lower branches of the brush. We have a very small backyard, but it abuts a large sloughy, woody, area. The slough is "J" shaped and joins the lake in front of our neighborhood. The slough just teams with wildlife. This puts me up to 43 types of birds I've identified while just sitting on my back patio.
Anyhow, it was pretty cool to have the bluebirds come visit.
