I have bluebirds for the first time

Decatur, GA(Zone 7b)

Finally, I have eastern bluebirds nesting in my birdhouse! Every year they scope it out, but always end up favoring my neighbor's houses. I think this year they chose me because of the birdhouse "renovations". Last fall, a woodpecker pecked out a perfectly round window in the birdhouse. At first I tried shooing him away, but gave up. And I think the birds like it better now! The bluebirds feed the babies through the window. I've really enjoyed watching them.

Congratulations!

It will be interesting to see which hole the babies fledge from. Probably the front since it looks to be a bit larger. But then the window is lower and they may try that first.

Congratulations and good luck.
