That's great! I never feel like Spring is here until the Bluebirds return. I was worried, because we replaced their old nestbox, but I guess I didn't have to.

That is a surprise picture! My brother works in the Summer helping to watch Bluebird boxes in a near-by park and keeping track of when and how many families there are.
