Great picture! Love it. I Have bluebirds nesting on my CYV wall that I attached house. This will be their 8th year. While in missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Florida over years I have out out several bluebirds house that I made. Had pair off my porch in Oklahoma nest for 15 years. Seems like same ones but hard to tell. I had several nests on my 2 acres. I also had tuffed titmouses, cickades, great creased flycatchers, screech owl, and 60 plus pair of purple martins.

I am green with envy. I usually get sparrows and have to eliminate the nest before they lay. Argggh.

We had bluebirds in the our bluebird house all last summer.
Three hatches for sure.

I see their back now, time to get the mealworms out.

Anyone use those bluebird house guards to keep blackbirds out of the nest boxes?
You can make your own out of wire and their also sold on Amazon

I’m curious your bird house is at the TV house? I would like to learn more about providing a nest for the blue birds. I have have red birds that builds nests in the same bush every year. Love watching the activity of them making their nests and incubating. I just need to not to go in the front door during this time.
