Pami, my blues were around all winter, also, parents & 3 from last nesting. They are here every morning & late afternoon to eat my home made peanut butter suet. Also have a seed feeder where LOTS of cardinals come, along with doves, finches, juncos, white-crowned sparrows (these 2 also come to the suet feeder), and of course, those pesky HOSP. Yes, my boxes are ready & waiting, also. I have put out a new modified Gilwood box – had one of them last year and it was popular, lst with the blues and then TRES built a nest. Hope you have a good season.
