Three Bluebird Eggs in the Garden

Such excitement these days. After two years of waiting. The bluebirds showed up. Built a nest. Now the female has laid three eggs. I hope they have more soon. They will lay one little blue treasure each day. Usually between 3-5 eggs will be laid. Lots of joy and excitement in Dustin's garden. This was the original reason for creating his garden. To attract bluebirds and butterflies. For ten years the bluebirds would come and raise families. The last two years they were unsuccessful due to other birds taking over. This year, so far, is the lucky one. Fingers crossed for a successful family. Thank you for those who have asked ( @ptrikha_2 ) about the progress of the bluebirds. Your comments are very much appreciated. Photo is mine.

Thanks for bringing out this discussion. The eggs look magnificent. I can imagine a story about "Magical Blue Eggs" with some twists N turns. Keen to see young birds in the coming days!

You are welcome and there may be another egg tomorrow. Time will tell. I have thought many times about writing a book. I have videos and tons of photos.

This sounds mean, but I'd be chasing the other birds away from this nest! Some birds are predators who break and eat the bluebirds eggs! You already knew this, I'm sure.

I still remember the many photos you'd share with us of those bluebird families, I hope this will be a success story.

@CarolDM - I have seen the blackbirds raise their babies. The babies were so cute.

I was heartbroken last year. But I watched the swallow raise their babies. Thank you.

Oh, aren’t they beautiful?!?? My tenants disappeared. EVERYTHING: the birds, the hatchlings, and the nest. Without a trace (no signs of a struggle like feathers or blood, and no sign of the nest being torn up). Anyway, hope you get some lovely babies from the lovely eggs.

They are the best in my opinion. Yikes, that happens here ever year as well. Sad but part of the process it seems. The competition in the bird world is often fierce. Thanks, I hope so too.

That's good to see three eggs in the nest. Let's hope the bluebirds are able to hatch these successfully.

This is so cool! Hopefully all is well and continues to be so! I want to get one of those birdhouses that you stick to a window and can watch them.

Thank you, I have done this over the years now. Enjoy it more than words can say. Hummingbirds are cool to watch from the window.

I have a bluebird nesting in my front yard tree. The nest is too high up, right above where I can see inside of it, but I can see her head and she sits there pretty much all the time, just like last year. So I think she is sitting on eggs. I look forward to their hatching. Last year they left the nest on a really nice day and I got lucky to see them learn to fly.

The bluebirds are very picky about where they nest. I provide a house for the ones who visit here and they seem to enjoy it. Good for you. I love this process. Miracles of nature.

I see your name on one of the eggs. They are such a lovely color.

Yes, some I have to put my watermark on, they are stolen often times. I adore these eggs.
