Female bluebird checking it out... by marlboromaam

Female bluebird checking it out...

Will she take it for the season? Image is not as sharp as I'd like and a bit grainy, but it's better than shooting the mocker.

Great capture of this lovely little bird.

Oh how wonderful..we just hung 2 house up so hoping we get some lookers ...

@samae Thank you, Sarah! I'll hope so. The males will lead them to a house, but it's the females choice whether or not she'll nest in it.

Lovely composition. This would make a great jigsaw puzzle!
March 17th, 2021  
Love this - she's definitely checking it out.

@dutchothotmailcom I was. Thank you, Esther!

@lesip How can you tell?
March 18th, 2021  
@marlboromaam oops I mention birdhouse .... lol
March 18th, 2021  
Lovely framing of this shot. She looks to be considering very carefully!

@lesip You are right. It's very old. I have new special-made ones I have to get up. They have metal plates around the holes so the squirrels can't chew the holes wider. =)

@ljmanning Thank you, Laura. I usually have at least two or three females check this one out before it's taken. The one out front is usually occupied first. The newer one in the back is occupied by a spider that I have to run off and this one is, well, really old.

Well captured. I like the context the bird is in.
March 18th, 2021

Love the rustic bird box! No wonder it has attracted the bird.
March 18th, 2021  
@mittens Some female will take it when the other two have been occupied. =)
