It was so nice outside today! The bluebirds are still busy working on the nest. I mostly got pictures of the male today since he stands guard outside while the female works on the nest inside the box.
Every now & then he goes into the nest box to check out her handiwork.
You can see the difference in the coloring on the male (above) and the female (below). He is so much more colorful while she is more gray.
I got this shot of the female coming in to the nest. I need to work on capturing this.
The bluebirds have some prime real estate. Several other birds have been checking out the box. The Brown-Headed Nuthatches check out the box daily hoping to find it empty.
The Black Capped Chicadees want it too.
This Mocking Bird would chase the bluebirds away every time they tried to land in the grass.
You are getting good at catching the bluebirds. Keep up the good work.
