Mid 70's today. When was it I installed the 3rd bluebird nesting box...just the other day- well yesterday I saw this bluebird seem to chase another, what looked to be grayish, bird away from the entrance. Today I see that grayish bird at the entrance and maybe 30 seconds later the bluebird came climbing out of the box. I conclude the grayish bird is the female and the two are a couple, and they have promptly chosen my oak box as a place to raise a family. Later in the afternoon I saw the blue bluebird climbing out again.

Nine native short leaf pine trees were planted today, scattered around the back of the property.
