On Sunday (the thirteenth), I spotted my first bluebird of the year. I saw a pair of them—a male and a female. They came graphing through the sky to reach the post and pole fence around my xeriscape yard. Their signature, bouncing flights are hard to miss. The male, bright as a newly minted coin in his blue cape, soon flitted over to inspect the bluebird house I fixed to a fence post.
In this way, our Montana spring season begins.
