Announcement! We have four bluebird eggs in the backyard house. Yes four! I called four for the maximum. But tomorrow we will see if there are more. I never know from day to day how many eggs I will see when I open the little door on the house. So what about tomorrow? Will there be more eggs? I have no idea. It is totally up to the female. Most males out there already knew that fact.
Bluebird facts of the day:
Bluebirds are family oriented. The courting male dotes on the female, waving his wings, enticing her to select a nest site, and offering her treats. He courageously guards the box during nest construction. He delivers food to the incubating female, and participates equally in feeding nestlings and fledglings. Both parents will die defending their young from House Sparrows. After fledging, young birds tend to stay with their parents, begging for food, and sometimes altruistically helping tend to siblings in a second brood.
Birds have a way of putting things in perspective. They forge ahead and carry on no matter what happens. No dwelling on the past, no regrets, sheer 100% survival..and beauty.~Susan Halpin

That’s great to hear! I am happy for you 🙂 Hope there will be more even though you think 4 is the max.
Yes there was actually five in total. 🙂
That’s great news, I am glad to hear that!
I know and I am monitoring to make sure they are safe.
This is awesome! A great gift for each day!
Yes indeed ellie, thanks.
Four came through her door now you too do have 1 Blue some more.
Very nicely worded Bradley, thanks.
That is incredible Carol, they (the bluebirds) must feel safe in your space~
I try to make it as safe as possible. Been doing this for seven years now. They always return each spring.
Oh Yay, number four. I still think there will be five! lol Smart men yes. ; )
We will see Kim, thanks.
I saw, I saw! We have five now!! I will hope for more, but I think this is it. Now for babies!!!
No new ones today so I think she is done! Yes, soon Kim.
I like the blue eggs and I anticipate that it will be more.c”,)
Thanks for the guess, we will see.
It’s my pleasure.It’s my pleasure, my friend. c”,)
“It is totally up to the female. Most males out there already knew that fact”
damn skippy
Ha! You are the only one that caught that statement!
You’re going to have to get up WAY earlier if you think you can slide something like that past me…
I knew that. You don’t miss much.
arrived and the fourth egg, great
Thanks for your comment.
The excitement and fervency that goes on and on! Also curiosity, of course!
I think this is a wonderful lesson also from bluebird wisdom.
I learn something new each year and this is my seventh year to be doing this.
Huihh… A long enough experience! You earn the right to talk about it!
Thanks Albert it is the highlight of the spring.
Actually this is my eighth year!
Lovely post and great to see Blue birds are happy with the nest. With your care they should do very well.
Thank you Pamela, good to see you. I hope they are all safe.
I think four eggs will be the limit, but stranger things have happened.
Yeah, that’s my guess as well but I hope we’re wrong…
So do I, the more the merrier.
