Here is a look inside an Eastern Bluebird nest box. This nest is typical of an Eastern Bluebird, crafted with grasses and relatively neat. You cannot see it from this photo, but there is a distinct cup inside this nest, which is where the eggs are placed, and incubated. Scroll down to see more.
In this photo, you can get an idea of the interior shape of the nest. These are the eggs of the Eastern Bluebird. At this time, there were four eggs in the nest.
Eastern Bluebirds lay one egg per day, with an average clutch of 4-6 eggs. There are now five eggs in the nest and the female has begun to incubate the eggs. This is an especially important time to not disturb the nest so that the eggs are not abandoned.
