Our new group went out and looked at the bluebird boxes today for the first time. There are four boxes. Three out of four of the boxes had nests!!!!! One even had adult activity, one male and one female. We were all so excited but maybe not as excited as Mrs. Parker (geek). She'd done this before and normally there is only one nest per season. And no evidence of wrens. Whew!!! Even better.... NO SNAKES! (except LM wanted to see snakes)
We learned that we should come up to the box and block the hole. Because birds can fly out and we can get hurt. We also learned don't always use the same path because you'll leave a trail for predators. It is also important to stay quiet so we don't disturb the bluebirds. This is their home not ours. Also, always knock gently on the door before you open it.
We'll check back after spring break. Keep your fingers crossed there are eggs when we get back.
