Well, I hadn’t seen a bluebird since the last fledge on August 1. Yesterday, my adult blues were back on the spouting of the house, and a juvenile was at the peak of a nearby tree. They didn’t hang around for long, but I was thrilled to see them back. Today, I made sure there were meal worms in the pan, and papa blue popped in for a quick snack.
I recently got a blue cage feeder that I am “breaking in.” Now that I have seen a bluebird at the old feeder, I was planning to move that one closer and closer to the new feeder in small stages. I know that many of you have the blue cage feeder. I was just wondering how you mounted the feeder. Did you put it on a pole? Mine is hanging on a shepherd’s hook. How close to the birdhouse do you have your cage feeder? Just curious.
