19 May 2008 - Looking for a home

For the past several years, we have been trying to attract Blue Birds at our property where we have 5 Bluebird homes erected. About 3/4 mile north of our house is a development called Sage Creek. The Bluebirds have been roosting there for many years but normally you do not see them in our area.

This year we have had visitors and it appears that this Bluebird may adopted our Bluebird house in the front near the willows. Last week, a male and female checked out the houses but finally decided to move on. For the past couple days, this Bluebird has been sitting on top of the house and I have seen him picking up grass and moving it into the house. He does not appear to have a mate at this time but he continues to sit on top of the house hoping that she will find him soon.
