Hi,
For the first time Eastern Bluebirds arrived in Gowganda. ( a male and
female)
My Sister Marg spotted the 'blue bird' on top of a Swallow 'occupied'
nesting box. Over the next few hours the male would fly to the opening and
peer in then fly to the top of the box and
act very agitated. He constantly pecked at his under tail coverts area. He
carried debris from the ground and would fly to the house and land on
different
places such as the pump house , the hydro lines, the phone lines etc.
I had to go to an appointment and when I came back my sister told me the
male had finally entered the nest box.
My husband has gotten ready another nest box and will put it up tomorrow. We
are hoping the bluebirds will take up residents.
Cheers,
Gert Trudel
