it is right on the top of a fence . I have put some more vine over it, but that will surely wilt and die in a couple of days. I think there is enough old dried up vine that they might be OK. The parents stay close in a tree and Momma is still sitting on the nest...not moving..weird as I would think the 2 that have hatched need feeding, but I do not watch every moment. apparently she is brooding the other two eggs.
I am watching it closely...you can see a clump in this picture just to the right of the dead tree, where there is some lighter green...that is the vine that I added to shelter a bit more.
If the sun does seem to beat down I will rig something over that area and attach to the fence and the tree as a sun shade.
I just cannot believe how close to the Bluebirds she nested. That dogwood snag (the dead tree trunk in the picture) is one of the "lookout" trees that the BB's always use. Of course , now the Robin chases them away and her nest is probably not more than 20 ft from the porch and the BB nest-box. *sigh* I guess they know better than I
I just hate that I didn't realize why that Robin was hanging around...duh!!
