Eastern Bluebird Approaching Birdhouse
We've only had three or four pair of Bluebirds successfully hatch their chicks since we put up this birdhouse 20 years ago. They are quite aloof, and don't like to nest so close (25 feet from our back porch) to people. More of a problem are the very persistent Sparrows which force Bluebirds out of the house even after they begin making a nest. This female continued to build her nest with my wife and me watching, but was keeping a very close eye on us! :)
