Description
This is an image of a male eastern bluebird taken in the backyard in northern Minnesota. A pair has shown up and taken residence in one of the nest boxes. This is the same box that has had bluebirds before. It's always been one of two boxes for the bluebirds while the tree swallows use the other boxes.
This year, I guessed right and put a camera in the right box! So far, two eggs have been laid. This male looks like a very good mate as he comes in and feeds the female when she is in the process of laying an egg. Like the other males, I'm sure he will share duties in raising the little ones when they hatch.
