My Bluebirds have been very active lately,checking out their house, before they started working on my lot. Then with so much activity around, I was scared they would not use the house they had been checking out. But to my amazement they started building their nest.Now I can set on my front porch and watch them going in and out. I had checked for eggs on Friday, not a one. Then Saturday I noticed the female sitting half way out of the box. I had never seen one do that before. The same thing happened again on Sunday morning. Well, I could not wait, so I checked and sure enough there were 3 eggs there. Happy happy days. I will be able to watch as they hatch, mom and dad feeding them and see the fledging leave the nest. This will be a first for me. here are a few pics of mom, dad and soon to be babies. Not sure why the pics post at the top.
Gayle, This is super news! Nice shots of the pair and nest! Bluebirds can be fickle when it comes to nesting. I have my fingers crossed for the pair that has built a nest in one of my nestboxes.

Great pictures. Does your bluebird house have a side viewer or did you lift the top to peek in?
ReplyDeleteAs for the photos posting at the top, that's just the way they do it. You can cut and paste them where you want them on your post.
