My 2024 Bird Nest Box

Monday, June 3

I always thought birds fed insects to the young birds still in the nest.  Today, I observed the male bluebird repeatedly take sunflower hearts from a nearby feeder and fly them to the nest box.

I think the eggs have hatched.  The adult bluebirds are making visits to the nest box throughout the day.

The female Bluebird seems to be spending a lot of time in the nest box.
Perhaps she has already laid some eggs and is incubating them.

I wish I had a nest box camera.

I have another next box in the back of my yard.

Some House Wrens are now building a nest in that one.

Nest building has begun.

The female bluebird has been busy transporting dried grass into the nest box.
