Welcome, Ben. Like others said, your nestboxes are enough to draw the Bluebirds. But feeding is fun because you can gradually bring them closer to your house.

Welcome, Dene. Carol seemed to answer all your questions so I just wanted to say hi. Using the chain saw for a short time isn’t going to bother her. You can monitor them just like you can Martins. (I have martins). After this nesting do what Carol suggested and make that pole that the house is on so you can monitor the nests. It is on a pole, right? If not, please put it on a slick metal pole. Glad to have you here.

” found some stuff in the box.” I’m sure you know this already but wrens only use sticks so if it is anything else it isn’t a house wren.
Tammy
It could be that something happened to one or both of those birds and a new pair just hasn’t found your place. ?? Bummer. Hopefully you see them for another nesting this summer.

It’s just weird how in the some of the northern states they stay but yet in the southern ones they leave. Doesn’t make any sense to me but that’s just how it is!

Lisa, nice that you talked someone into giving mealworms when you’re away. I have no one. We asked our neighbor once when the babies were newborn and the temps were in the single digits but he’s a gruff elderly man and I can’t bring myself to ask him again.

Some people think that two holed houses are the way to go….so this is interesting. Thanks for sharing, Phillyblues.
