Just very excited to share I had a surprise long bluebird visit to my suburban backyard box today! Feeling blessed today! I had been enjoying watching 4 male tree swallows in my front yard boxes the past few days and now this! The bluebird hung around for about a half hour. Hope he returns! I think my persistent sparrow control is finally paying off (our neighborhood is absolutely infested). Fingers crossed for a nesting for the first time.

I miss the Swallows
Sparrow control sure does pay off when persistent! One thing I learned this year though is that female swallows can be just as blue as the male swallows! I had no idea. So what I thought was two males hanging around were actually a pair! Apparently this is common and generally is a female after the second year. She is sitting on her eggs now and my predator baffle is up!
