Our cute little Bluebird family is now 12 days old. They will fledge between 17 and 21 days old.
We've also been having a little war with an Eastern Phoebe trying to build a nest over the front door. We allowed it last year and all was good until the 4 foot black snake arrived. It ultimately died from it's attempt and I almost died of fright so not more nesting by the door. She has been so determined though that Chris has to stuff the area with styrofoam sheets to take away the ledge and she has still slapped mud and moss all over everywhere. She's finally built a nest where she did a couple of years ago, on one of the downspouts outside our bathroom window. We're leaving the :decorative styrofoam for now though in case she or one of her sisters tries again.

ooh, it looks like they are starting to develop just a bit of color. It is always interesting to see the changes.

Oh I am so envious. We had bluebirds investigating the bird houses this spring but I think they decided to take a pass. There are now (very noisy) wrens in them. Comments are closed.
