Thanks Tammy……. I put them out dry. I will try soaking them. We’ll see if they like them better. Judy-Michigan
Today was the first time I saw a bluebird in my yard this season. It was a lone male looking at the BB boxes. Super exciting. He returned later in the afternoon sitting on a shepherds hook checking out the yard. I hope to have a successful nest this season. I have a feeder with dried mealworms out, but last year they didn’t seem to care for them. Anyone having luck with the dried mealworms? Thank you. Judy-Michigan

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I was hoping the bluebirds would arrive before the house wrens to claim a box first. In my area the house wrens are coming into our mowed lawn areas away from shrubs. We have a total of 4 Bluebird boxes up. Paired 2 in the back of our property and 2 in the front. Paired one slotted box with one round hole box. The paired boxes are 15 feet apart…..with the sets 100 yards apart. All 4 have the stovepipe baffles. The house sparrows still try to build nests in the round hole boxes, but do not like the slotted boxes. I toss the sparrow’s nests out daily.
I have not seen any bluebirds yet. I have my fingers crossed…..hoping to get at least one bluebird family this season.

How exciting! Still waiting here in Michigan, it’s been cold and windy with snow. Good luck with your blues. Enjoyed the photo.
