It's now April in Kentucky but I was surprised that my bluebirds were back and picking the house again in mid March. The weather is not normal for March so I thought they wouldn't start laying eggs so early. I meant to start blogging from the beginning but didn't get around to get but I will try to do better. So let me catch you up though the photos I've been taking.First house they started to build in. They always start in two houses, so forget what you read about only one bluebird house per acre or whatever, these teo house are literally 20 feet apart and until I had two for them to choose from they would always start in one and leave. Ever since I'be had the the two houses close to each other I've had babies.
This is the house they choose which they have used for three years now, this photo was taken March 18th.
March 22nd, we had two eggs. I missed the first one. I honestly thought it was too early in the year to be laying eggs.

March 23rd three eggs

March 24th four eggs

March 25th five eggs

March 26th six eggs

March 28th still six eggs moved around

April 7th still six eggs

April 8th two hatched
Ok that brings everyone up to date on this one nest. Look for more updates as they hatch and grow. Let me know if you enjoy.
