For the past couple of weeks the birds have been
buzzing around in the back yard as they try to find suitable nesting sites. I
have four bluebird houses in the back & they are all currently occupied I
think. They are not all with bluebirds. There are two with swallows, and one
with sparrows (which I don't like). One pair of bluebirds are firmly
established in the house directly in the back per usual, but until recently
there was a pair of swallows that thought it should be theirs. I moved a house
to a spot fairly close by, and that seemed to solve matters. It was truly
amazing to see how quickly the swallows found and occupied that new place. It
was just a matter of minutes.
Honestly, it has seemed like the days leading up to Christmas. There has
been a lot of rushing around, but now, like on Christmas Eve, all of the
activity has diminished. Calm and silence prevail as parents focus on the
central family unit.
