The New Neighbor......

City Boy ventured down the driveway yesterday.....to meet the new neighbor.....She sits in the nesting box on what we call......Telephone Pole Lane....and watches the activity going on in the yard......she stares at us as we go by......late in the afternoon she takes a flight around the area....hunting for seed and bugs.....we have not been able to get close enough to check for eggs......but, i'd rather leave her alone....

We're not sure what type of bird she is.......dark blue on the top and whiteish-gray on the bottom half with a bright blue spot on her head .......

She reminds me of the killer whales at Sea World ....the way her head peeks out of the hole....
I'm calling her "Shamu"

Can anyone help me as to what type of bird she is.....??

Also, several months ago....on a blog i read....there was mention of a quilt project for the children of the Appalachians....if you have the info....please leave me a comment......Thanks
