While chatting with Jeff, something caught my eye out the kitchen window and over halfway across the field--a dark spot on the bluebird house. After grabbing the binoculars, I confirmed what I suspected and hoped. The bluebirds are back. At least the male is, and he is claiming his favorite nestbox in the yard. That same box has been used by a bluebird pair each year since I put it up...I assume they are the same pair, but I have no way of knowing.
It is that time of year again. I'll have to keep an eye out on the box and try to have the camera ready.
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.
