Covid Bird #2 -- The Eastern Bluebird

Eastern Bluebirds inspect our backyard bird houses every spring.  One year they even nested!  This year they chose again to use our back neighbors' box.  We still see them all the time hawking bugs in our backyard.  On April 5 the male landed on our T.V. cable long enough for a portrait. 

We do sort of have bluebirds this year.  Another neighbor allows me to put boxes on his property across the road.  Usually these host Tree Swallows or House Wrens, but this year the "meadow box" has bluebirds.  Here's the female flying in nesting material earlier this month.
