Bluebird Trail
I actually took the four-wheeler and tried to make a pass by all the bird houses just to check the current nesting status. In the back, the snow is so deep that I had to posthole through the snow to get to one of the bird houses. None of the boxes had any nests in them. I did see a couple of birds near one of the bird houses last week, but apparently they haven't committed to building a nest just yet.
I honestly wonder how they work that out. Like, they must have some little courtship ritual where they sort of agree to mate, and then they start a nest together. So, possibly these two had some sort of disagreement. Maybe he didn't like her feathers or she didn't like his breath or something. Maybe they couldn't come to terms on the pre-nestual agreements. But they sure enough flew the coop without building a nest. Yikes.
