We put up 2 Bluebird nesting boxes in our garden about a month and a half ago, and about 3 weeks ago we started seeing a pair of Bluebirds investigating. Both male and female are now going in and out of the box with a frequency that suggests feeding young. Yay! I thought we had spooked them when we started doing more work in the garden, but we apparently didn’t. I would say that they are not overly happy when we are out gardening, but after observing us for a little time they go into the box.
We have never had Bluebirds before, so are unfamiliar with their nesting habits and timing, but it seems a bit late in the year? The Bewick's Wren, Chickadee, and Junco babies have fledged already, but I haven’t seen the Jay fledglings yet. Does anyone know the nesting time range for Bluebirds?
