After spotting him last week, I went out and checked out the inside of the box where I saw several strands of grass had been added to the bottom already. Today, I saw just a few more had been added. Looking good. :)
Recreating a native habitat has been a dream of mine since I was about 18. It only took me 20 years, but I finally have two acres of land in the country with which to work (and play). My goal is to document the improvements I make to the property: restoring habitat & attracting birds and butterflies in addition to other wildlife.

Staking Claim
The male bluebird is back and staking claim to what appears to be the best nestbox on the property. Each year, this particular box is used by a bluebird pair. I'm thrilled to see it is likely they'll be nesting here again--I have to admit that I'd be quite disappointed if I had to go a year without them.
