This is absolutely my favorite bird. Male or female they are so lovely to see.

This bird kept showing up as an Eastern Bluebird too.  I decided not to include it in my post because it looks a bit different.  It still has a reddish chest and white belly, but I wasn't certain.  This was taken by another birdhouse on a different day too.❤️

The Dads also remove the 'poop sacks' from the nest!

If you see that male, see if he's carrying a tiny white balloon in his beak!

Lol, I really didn't know that!😃❤️

I'll definitely be watching this house for awhile then.  Thank you for letting me know these things.  I really do appreciate learning more about them.❤️❤️❤️

@cheriere.  You got a good picture.  Nice arrangement and background, good color. Too bad there wasn't more sun. Pretty mama.

Thank you so much.😃❤️

Today's weather has been rainy and miserable looking all day long.  Plus, where I'm at is basically like the Smokey Mountains.  It gets really foggy looking that lies low.  I'm hoping to get some better pictures on a prettier day.

@cheriere Beautiful photos. That coffee table book is getting thicker by the day.

@KingstonMom,

I'm so glad to read that because I wondered what the parent(s)? were carrying away from the nest that looked like something white when I had those babies and nest in my chair!

By the way @cheriere,

Guess who came today to check out "her" chair?! The mother bird! I was so happy to see her.I hope she found everything to her satisfaction lol and will build a nest again!

I read that wrens will try for a nest 2 times in a season.

Aww, thank you so much.😃❤️

I can't believe how many different birds I've seen already.  Unfortunately, getting their pictures is another matter altogether lol.  I have three appointments this week, so while I'm out I'm picking up birdseed.  Maybe that will help lure them in.😃

I'm so glad you mentioned this.  I've been really surprised by how many birds around my place that are supposed to have multiple nests of babies.  Some even said three, especially if their first hatch early in the spring.

Im hoping to get as many as I can too.  I've watched cardinals every single day, but it's been impossible for me to get a single picture worth keeping.  They sure are fast little devils lol.😃❤️
