Possibilities

There have been signs of activity around the nestboxes and this morning a male bluebird was perched on one of the nestboxes. A female sitting on the fence close by seemed to be communicating with him. Male Eastern Bluebirds will display at possible nest sites to attract a female. They may carry nesting material into the cavity, or box in an effort to show what a great home he has picked out. Does this mean the two birds I saw today will claim this box?  The only way to know is to keep watching. If you are walking in the park, take some time to see if you can spot any bluebirds around the boxes. Please do not disturb the boxes, but watch from a distance. Remember, photos of activity will be posted here. Keeping your distance gives these birds the best chances of success!
