As of today there are three, almost albino, Bluebird eggs in the nest they built a week or two ago, on top of a bit of nest they built last fall. Is it too soon for them to be laying eggs? If so, I will rethink feeding Bluebirds in the future. I am still feeding a small amount of mealworms and mix a couple of times a day, more when it is cold. These are the only Bluebirds left in the area after feeding 5 or 6 all winter. The Tree Swallows are back today after a week or two absence. Hope they don't drive the Bluebirds away!
