I put up a bluebird box a few years ago. A pair of bluebirds took up residence almost immediately. I watch them feather their nest in March and watch the babies fledge the end of April. Some years have two and sometimes three broods. It’s heartening.
For a while there the number of Bluebirds in the United States was declining. There were too many different species of birds competing for the same nesting sites. Bluebirds are not an aggressive bird. They were booted out of their nests and left out in the cold.
Their numbers are climbing again. Birdwatchers across the country started catering to the needs of the bluebird. Bluebirds have specific requirements but they’re fairly easy to adhere to.

The Eastern Bluebird is a beautiful bird and their song is so sweet…
