Turf wars
A friend saw photos I posted of a Bluebird pair that is nesting in a box we put up in the back yard and she said, “I’ve had a Bluebird box in my yard for years, but all we ever get are House Sparrows.”… Continue Reading “Turf wars”
House Wrens Move In
Some might say we are a bit obsessed with all these birds and boxes, and trail cams trying to records who is roosting where, but my father once told me that after meeting all essential life requirements, everyone should have a hobby and they… Continue Reading “House Wrens Move In”
Feather Bed
Once in a while, you get lucky. I did today when filming a pair of Tree Swallows that are incubating eggs in a nesting box in our yard. Tree Swallows nest in cavities, including those provided by humans. They often line their grass-based nest… Continue Reading “Feather Bed”
Singing Like A Lark
When you set up a Trail Cam, you never know what you might capture. This camera was focused on a Bluebird nest, but apparently an Eastern Meadowlark wanted to sing to the chicks inside.
Holy Crap!
I could title this short video as “Holy S*it,” “Great Mother,” “Tidy House,” or “Nose to Tail.” Regardless of how you see it, this is something you won’t be able to “un-see.”
Let’s Do It Again!
Tree Swallows are in the front yard box, again.

Barn Swallows!!
We have always had Barn Swallows around, including those that made nests in our actual barn! Go figure. They also made nests under the eaves of our old house, our training building and here at our new house. But, the nests have never been… Continue Reading “Barn Swallows!!”
Trail Cam – Bluebirds
Below you will find trail cam videos of the Eastern Bluebird pair that is currently feeding their chicks. I acquired the trail cam to catch their fledglings leaving the nest. I sure hope we capture that! After an initial test of the still shot… Continue Reading “Trail Cam – Bluebirds”
Bluebirds in Action
I have had the opportunity to watch a pair of Eastern Bluebirds arrive in early Spring, select a nest box that we offered, build a nest, incubate and then feed their chicks. In fact, I have documented much of that activity in early blog… Continue Reading “Bluebirds in Action”
Worms & Grasshoppers for Lunch
The Eastern Bluebird pair that has built their nest in the birch-look nest box on our south fence are clearly feeding chicks. Here are some photos of the female and the male as they tend to their hungry brood.
