Eastern Bluebird feeding its nestling. Nest box was located in my backyard spring-summer 2022. My first attempt at building one, installing, and monitoring it! Three Bluebirds hatched and fledged.
Hi Paula, We have a page on Eastern Bluebirds here, which shows the preferences they have for nest boxes (height of the box, orientation, spacing, ideal habitat, and more). Feel free to check it out and compare to your current box. Email nestwatch@cornell.edu with any additional questions.
Cool!
I am hoping for Bluebirds this year. Any tips on attracting them to the nestbox? Beautiful photos!
