I put up dual-holed boxes which is supposed to help bluebirds defend the box from sparrows. It creates an escape route so the bluebird can take the fight outside the box. I can’t prove it but I had success with them last year.

I wish I could but it’s in a public park in the burbs. Some “do-gooder” would likely let them out of the trap or steal it….or I’d get in trouble. I am a believer in the two-hole box though. It allows escape and taking the fight to the outside of the box.

Darn HOSP harassment today! We will see if my dual holed boxes keep them safe again this year.

I still can’t believe it but there is a nest. I was amazed enough to see a pair hanging around. The nest had a good start the last weekend of February. It’s funny to think this time last year I wasn’t sure I’d ever see a bluebird in my neighborhood.

It’s on! The first nest of the season in my suburban Philadelphia town is built before March!
