Since I've worked at NBNC, Bluebirds have came each spring to check out the nest boxes and moved on. This year, the male showed up early and was joined on Friday by a female! The two were both observed today, with one bird almost always perched on a favored nest box. At one point, the male (bottom) and female (top) switched spots between a post and the box.At around 4:00pm, for the first time, I spotted an American Kestrel hovering over the fields looking for a meal. I ran to tell someone, and by the time I returned to the scene, the Kestrel was perched on the Bluebirds' favored nest box. I hope they didn't get eaten!
