When do Bluebirds leave their birdhouses for good? Is it when they fledge?
I keep seeing this little Bluebird sticking its head out of the hole looking around. I’m not sure if there are other little ones in there too. And maybe this is a different one each time. I think they fledged a couple of weeks ago.
So I wondered if Bluebirds go back to their bird house at night after they have fledged? And for how long? Does anyone know the answers to these questions? Everything that I have read says that Bluebirds do not go back to their nest or birdhouse once they have fledged.
I was at Fort Hill looking for some butterflies and wildflowers when I saw these two birds come out from the woods onto the trail. It was a good thing I had my camera out and ready because I only got one shot and this is it.
There used to be many Bobwhites in the state but they have dwindled over the years. There are still at least two at Fort Hill!
I had to stop my car to let this huge family of turkeys cross the road to stay on the bike path. I counted 3 adults and about 18 babies. I couldn’t fit them all in one frame.
They were just adorable as they all scurried after mom and dad.
These little baby Bluebirds can’t get much cuter! There are several families in our yard, two of which live in our bird houses. These baby Bluebirds spend quite a bit of time at our feeders waiting for mom to feed them. It certainly has been a very busy time of year!
It doesn’t get much cuter, do you think?
