I’m very excited to announce that the bluebirds have started building their nest! I'm especially excited because my husband gave me a bird house cam this past Christmas! Now we can see inside the house and watch the baby birds hatch! I will be posting pics and videos to keep everyone updated on our new bluebird family!
Last Thursday, we noticed there was a lot of activity and lots of materials on the ground underneath the house. The male bluebird had been taking nesting materials into the bird house. It rained on Friday and all day yesterday, but that didn't stop them from working on the nest. Today, it's been sunny and dry and the momma bird has been working very diligently on the nest. I think the nest will be complete today and she may possibly start laying eggs in a few days. Below is a short video of momma building her nest.
You still have time to get a bluebird house and put it up! I bought mine at Lowe's and they cost about $15.00. Be sure to purchase some dried mealworms. You'll need some treats to attract them to your yard.
I hope you're excited about the spring weather and the rebirth of plants and living things around us. Check my blog for updates and let me know if you have bluebirds in your yard!
Spring is a very exciting time of year!
Get out and enjoy the fresh air!
