Bluebirds nesting on a rainy Alabama day

Bluebirds nesting on a rainy Alabama day 

Morning ...it's been a rainy night here in Alabama and it's damp but warm in Alabama this morning 

Yesterday I managed to take some photo's of the Bluebirds that are feeding their young in one of our Bluebird nesting boxes ...this one has a bug in it's mouth 

They mainly always sit on the roof for a moment to look around for the all clear to fly inside and feed it's young 

They nest every year in the same box and for two years it was a disaster as a snake or rascally raccoon got inside and ate the eggs 

So we hunted around the internet and bought this wire guard to screw on to the front of the box ...and we have not had any trouble since ...it's a total success ...and the Bluebirds love it as they can sit on it like it's a front porch ....now every year we have success 

You may be wondering what the electrical wire is for going down the pole ...we have a camera inside the box so that we can watch them on our television ....it's lovely to see the babies growing every day 

Today it is house cleaning day ...getting ready for the weekend 

So nothing much to look forward to but at the end of the day the house will be spick 'n' span

What are you doing ..

Something more exciting I hope

But you never know what the day will bring ...do you ??

Happy day to you all 

Kindest regards
