This is the most recent photo of our bluebird house complete with nest! We have not looked inside in a few weeks because we think there may be eggs and we don't want to scare them away. From what we have read online, bluebirds will often hatch 2-3 broods per season, so we can look forward to having them around for a while! It took some time for the bluebirds to assert their dominance over the nestbox as there were some tree swallows and house finches who were also interested. There were many arial battles with dramatic swooping and diving that we witnessed and it wasn't clear from our vantage point exactly who had the uppper hand (wing?). In the end, it is the bluebirds who won out and we are glad.
