Bluebird At Our Windows
by Nancy
(Hendersonville, NC)
I am hoping someone can explain the weird behavior of the female bluebird who has been at our windows recently -- staying there for most of the day, hanging onto the screen and going back and forth; sitting on the birdhouse and then back to hanging onto the screen.
This is the 2nd day now. I was curious about this behavior and thought maybe she had built her nest, so I looked into the birdhouse. No nest has even been started.
The male has been around a lot, too....spending time just hanging out around the birdhouse. We have bluebirds every spring, and sometimes have had the pleasure of watching fledgings when they leave the nest.
We never have seen this behavior before, living in the same house for 25 years.
Does anyone out there have any answers for us? We are very perplexed!
