Mr. Bluebird Feeds Mrs. Bluebird
The male bluebird takes a piece of mealworm to mom. Judging by how wide her mouth is open she is expecting a big meal!
Mom bluebird continues to incubate the eggs in the nestbox which is a good thing since the temperatures have dropped into the 40’s and we even had a few snow flakes today.
The bluebirds continue to stay very close to the nestbox and he chases away any birds that get too close.
Mr. Bluebird
This morning mom laid the third egg. Dad looks into the box and flaps his wing-he is so proud. We put meal worms on the walk near the bluebird nestbox and they both come to eat. Will update tomorrow.
Today the the bluebird laid her first egg. We suspected that she had because the bluebirds were hanging around in the area most of the day-keeping an eye on the box.
Last week she worked on the nest until Wednesday-so that was 4 days of work.
