Well OK I misled you.

My Bluebirds are the proud parents of 2 beautiful eggs as of today.

With luck they'll raise 3 broods. Everyone on this board should raise BlueBirds. They are a year around treat. BTW, Hummingbirds will arrive about April 1. Get those feeders ready

I have 3 bluebird boxes up so far, and I'm still building. Not sure if I'll get bluebirds or tree swallows, but I'm spacing them to get both.

Even if I don't get martins this year, there's lots of bluebirds in Middle Tennessee, so I'm pretty sure I can at least get those.

Yes, still waiting for my Bluebirds to get busy. Should be anytime now. PMs are pairing up and coming in daily which is unusual for me. I usually get Blues first.

But as you hinted, they are both a blessing and blues are here year-round.

Now, let's tackle the third rail - SPARROWS!!! Well, I better not go there :grin:
