EGG WATCH!!!

Well I am officially on EGG WATCH! *Cue dramatic music* The eggs should be hatching any day now. I am watching the bluebird cam 24-7! Well not quite, I am and recording when I am not home & during the night, I want to catch the eggs hatching so badly! I can't wait!

Here is mama peeking out and watching what is happening outside of her house.


Here is another pic of the bluebird eggs! They should be hatching any day now! Notice the small blue feather in the nest? How cute!!

Here is Snoopy watching while I take pictures. She always watches nearby while I take photos.

This is also the book light I am using to take pics of the eggs. It fits nicely in the top and is pretty bright. You can see the bird cam in the top of the box too!


Our Azalea bush is starting to bloom today!!

Here is mama checking me out while I was outside.

She didn't like that Snoopy was nearby.

Good watch dog. :)

Here is the male and the female. She was worried about Snoopy and they both came to check her out.


Here is the female sitting in our tree.



Yep! Eggs are still there!

The male sitting in the tree. I thought these were really pretty of him with the new green leaves in the background.

This is my favorite.

And last, we have a Clematis blooming already!! What a surprise!



**For those who may be concerned, I do not disturb the bluebirds while they are in the nesting box, I wait for them to fly off on their own. Bluebirds and other songbirds do not have a good sense of smell, so me touching the box to take pics will not cause them to abandon the eggs or babies. I did move Snoopy away from the side of the yard with the nest box after it seemed to be making the birds worried. I will also be fencing off the side with the bluebird fledglings to keep them safe from the dog as well. :)
