The Eastern Bluebirds nest about 3 times a year but some of them keep coming back to this same nest in the orange birdhouse.
This bird house needs to be repainted but I have to catch it without birds in it or without birds trying to nest.
I found a great deal for our grandson Andrew some wood scraps for making birdhouses. He loves to build stuff and never has enough wood. Someone had 200 pieces of picket fence cut offs 10″ long by 5″ wide for $10.00 I gave them $20.00 because I felt like it was worth it.
We delivered the wood to him yesterday and all the siblings helped unload. I ordered 4 birdhouses 1 for each of them to paint bright colors for me. We will see when Andrew gets these built but hopefully this weekend.
Providing homes for our feather friends is something I truly enjoy.


Isn’t that bird also called an eastern thrasher? I see them all the time in my neighbor’s birdbath.

According to google they are a migratory thrush. “The eastern bluebird is a small North American migratory thrush found in open woodlands, farmlands, and orchards.”

So its called a Eastern Bluebird that is the one that is in his birdbath. At first I thought it was a baby bluebird then I noticed his chest was red. Then I thought nature oddity. So I asked Scott down the street. He said a Eastern Thrasher.
