Wordless Wednesday…It Has Begun!
The Spring Nesting Season has begun! Well it actually began almost two weeks ago when Mama Bluebird completed the nest in our backyard bluebird box.
The nest begins with just a few pine needles and then once mom and dad are ready, mom goes back and forth bringing in little bunches of pine needles. She spends time making it just right.
We’d hoped that she would delay laying until after the freezing weather we had last week, and she did! Just barely, though.
The first egg was laid on Sunday. Typically, mama bluebird lays one egg a day…around mid-morning.
We’ll wait to see if this will be a brood of 4 or 5! Fingers crossed..
