As the Earth continues it's tilt toward the sun, you start to feel Spring in the air. Today was such a day in Montana. A surprisingly toasty 65 degrees had humans and animals alike outside enjoying the day. I went for a tour of the north end of the Gallatin Valley with hubby John on a search for our first bluebird of the season. We were not disappointed! We saw about 10 bright blue male Mountain Bluebirds flitting about near some of our bluebird nest boxes. The males usually arrive first to establish their territories, then the females come a bit later to choose their favored nesting location. Whatever male bluebird has claimed that location is the one she will mate with. You know what they say, "location, location, location".
