Eastern Bluebirds, Spring Nest

Today we'll begin following a pair of Eastern bluebirds that started their nest at the beginning of May.

Actually, it would be more precise to say that the female started the nest. Among bluebirds, the females are the ones who handle nest construction. Typically this takes 4 or 5 days.

If we inspire you to learn more about bluebirds, or you want to see pictures of them outside the nest, see Sialis, Wikipedia, or the Internet Bird Collection.
