Spring Is Sprung!

 

Spring is sprung and the bluebirds have been busy!  

We have 2 bird-boxes in the backyard, I've been busy disrupting the House Sparrows from the "left" box for days, hoping they'll give up.  No luck on that, but it has freed the "right" box for the bluebirds.  I've seen them coming and going, but today was the first time in weeks that I opened it.  And we have eggs!

This'll be the 3rd year we've have bluebirds nesting in the yeard, they have been having 3-4 broods each year.  Always fun.



They'll probably lay 1 or 2 more, then start sitting.  Nothing fancy on the photo, I try to be quick and as non-intrusive as possible.  And this is straight from the phone, no crop or anything....


Stay tuned!
