Mr. and Mrs. Bluebird started moving in several days ago. I’ve been watching closely and seeing the progress of their nest. It looks fully ready to me except for a lining of feathers. We had a laugh when one morning we saw a strip of tinsel woven into the nest, and marveled at Mrs. B’s interior decorating and desire for a little bling. The next day when we checked we couldn’t see the bling and Mark speculated that Mr. B had set his foot – err, claw down – “It’s either me or the tinsel, dear!” This morning I noticed a small candy wrapper and am happy that she’s at her merriment again.
Besides Bluebirds, this morning I also saw: a pair of House Finches who have built a nest high in the pine tree, robins, mourning doves, a sandpiper, sparrows, all just in the little patch of yard on the SE front of our house.
