Fledglings

The Bluebirds arrived back in the area in March. I knew they took up residence in the bluebird box by the side of my house. They like the location and have used it for several years now. I used to watch them come and go all the time, but it’s not as easy this year. We put up a new fence last year. There’s no longer a gate (easy access) to the north side of the house. They hear me coming and disappear. Getting pictures is nearly impossible.

Well the babies have fledged. They hung around my backyard for a day or so before disappearing. While I didn’t get many pictures, it’s still nice to know that the brood survived. For a while the number of bluebirds was declining but more and more home owners are putting up Bluebird Boxes. It’s making a difference.

Do you have a bluebird box in your yard? Bluebirds are fun to watch, even if they’re camera shy.
Have a nice day,
