PM, those are such lovely pictures of the Eastern Bluebirds. I'm a retired twitcher and have just had to check my database to confirm that I saw a beautiful male at Crystal River, in Florida 2005, where I also had the life affirming experience of swimming among manatees.
Brooke, that nest is so plucky, I do hope it is successful! Is it an American Robin?
VA, best of luck with the cicadas. It sounds like a nightmare.
