Aren't Bluebirds Good Luck?



We had a persistent little visitor yesterday who has returned this morning determined to find a mate – on the bus! This Western Bluebird saw her reflection in the shiny stainless and has been pecking away at herself with no results, I might add. At 6:10 this morning, again she is “knocking” at the galley window.

Yesterday, she spotted the area between the rear and tag tires. Then she found herself in the bedroom windows, which offered a wonderful rubber seal where she could hang on. Too funny!

Bill was working on the trailer lights’ wiring and she stayed within 4 feet of him most the day. She hopped from engine door to bay doors. Actually, most the birds here don’t seem to mind us sharing their space. A White Breasted Nuthatch even came in for a visit! He also was curious about the Nuthatch in/on the windshield but decided to come around and meet him in person. Then he kept pecking at the reflection on the inside of the windshield. Only took a minute to get him out. Not enough time for the camera, though. I still would not want a screen door.

We leave for Flagstaff, AZ later this morning. There are tons of things in the Grand Canyon area (and it is a really big area) to explore. Between AZ and UT there are many places on our list - don't know how many we will check off: both rims of the GC, Meteor Crater (where the first campground is), Sedona, Painted Desert scenery, Grand Staircase- Escalante, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Zion N'tl Park, Bryce Canyon, more petroglyphs and ghost towns . . .

Hopefully, today’s ride will be uneventful. That’s a GOOD thing.

Enjoy your Sunday! Good luck in the morning, Mom. xo

Hi family,
I just loved your little bluebird, I am sure they are good luck for frustrating for her.
Rob's b'day slide show was really fun. Thank you.
Will wait for new of your AZ visit.
