Bluebirds

I have babies again!

The jet that just flew over scared the daddy and he flew out of the nesting box. The babies were chirping away.

We have bluebirds building a nest in our bluebird house. I think they are done building it. Seems kind of late in the year for that but

I clean out the Bluebird boxes after each laying-amazing what the some of the nest consist of!

Mine are on their second brood so maybe yours had a nest somewhere else ...or they just met.

I left the nest there with hopes that they'd come back. It was pine needles on the outside and a lining of finer and softer stuff in the middle. Amazing indeed.

The nest has been quiet and I haven't seen the parents for a few mornings...so I checked the box. There was one small dropping on the deck under their house. They must've taken off in the past few days or so.

Next year I should rig their box with a nest cam.
