Hi,
I don't post much and rarely reply, partly because I haven't much to add and also because I am long winded and babble on and on when I do have something to say, hehe... but I really enjoy being part of this list and find it all so very interesting! I wanted to share and also ask about Eastern Bluebirds...
We just moved here last year (Louisville, Valley Station area) and when we moved in I had a lot of bluebirds. So this year I put up 2 bluebird boxes for them. (All the way in the back of the property on the fence posts, I followed the guidelines on box placement). I have not seen one bluebird! It is strange that we had so many last year and this year not a one! I wonder if anyone else has noticed this in their area... it is sad that they have not returned.
I also wanted to share that a pair of Tree Swallows have decided to take one of the boxes. They are a joy to watch.
I still have one empty box... if you run across a homeless bluebird, send him my way!! ![]()
(Free breakfast included with the room!) A sparrow is eye-balling it, but so far it is vacant.
