Hi Debra, This little bird was a poser for sure! I think the purple martins would be beautiful... I will have to look them up, like you I'm not sure if they are in Colorado. Any bird that eats tons of mosquitos - is a great bird to have around. Thanks for your comments today, I'll be off to check out the purple martins!
Hi Lanre, Thank you! I hope you have a great Memorial Day Weekend as well! I'm glad you liked the title of the post, Lanre and I appreciate you stopping by today! Take care, and enjoy your day!

Hi Debra, We don't have the apartment style bird house, that they like...but I think they are supposed to be in the Rocky Mountains..so I will have to keep my eyes open. I read they like Aspens groves, so I will look for them there. Have a great week Debra!!

What a beautiful shot! I love the way the light is bouncing off the pine needles, and the top of the bird's head.

Great title and photo! Yes, His eye is on us!! This would make a nice card. (Someone mentioned that) A little snow and it would be a great Christmas card, too.

Hi Konnie, quite unintentionally I confused everyone with this title. The bird in the picture is actually a tree swallow, at first when I saw his color, I thought he was a bluebird too!
and our sparrows are mostly brown LOL So sorry for the confusion, but there you have it- It's a tree swallow :-) Thanks for coming by, I do appreciate it!

Mary,
That is a great shot, is it a sparrow? I'm very familiar with the song with that title.

It's not a sparrow, Cynthia, it's a tree swallow.. I confused many with the title, but thought His eye would be on the tree swallow, too! I love that song. Thanks you so much for your nice compliment and for stopping by, I apologize for the delay in getting back to you.
