Bluebird Nest #1 of 2022

I'm super excited to report that we have our first bluebird nest of 2022 and she has laid five eggs!  Now, we wait....and wait....I'm always so impatient for #hatchday.  There's nothing sweeter than watching the eggs hatch and seeing the new baby bluebirds!  The incubation period starts after the last egg is laid and is normally 13 to 20 days. The eggs are somewhat dull when they are first laid and get shiny when they are close to hatching. So I'll keep a close eye on them. I think we should have bluebird babies the week of March 14th. Check back soon for updates!   

Spring is just around the corner!

Who is ready for Spring?  I'm ready and so are the bluebirds! 

They've completed their nest and are ready to start laying eggs!  I'm really looking forward to another year of bluebird babies!  💙

If you don't have a bluebird house - now is the time to pick one up!   I purchased ours at Lowes.  It's a very sturdy Cedar Bluebird House made by Homegrown Cedar Products and we've had it for four years. It's very reasonably priced ($13) easy to mount and easy to clean.  Just ask my husband because that's his job! 😎 

He mounted the house on a beam off of our porch about six feet high and facing the East.  The bluebirds seem to really like it because we've had bluebirds for the past four years!  So, get yourself a bluebird house and put out some dried mealworms - it's bluebird season! 💙

Check back soon to see how many eggs she lays in Nest #1 of 2022!
