The snowy egret was perched on top of a nesting box. There was, maybe, half a dozen such boxes on the perimeter of the marsh. Every time I pass this marsh by car I quickly glance up and down the waters top(???) see what I could spot. Sometimes there are deer drinking water on its edge. I have seen an occasional great egret or snowy egret on its perimeter. That was an odd place to see an egret perched on a nesting box.

Every time I look out the kitchen window I am looking for the pair of bluebirds that were checking out the bluebird box. My wife was the one who saw them each go into the box. The next day the nesting box fell down and that day I made sure it would not do that again. Nevertheless, I do not (???) whether they returned the next day and were simply discouraged from coming back. Despite that possibility I keep looking out that window hoping the bluebirds will return.

The first thing my wife mentioned to me after I got up was she saw pair of bluebirds from the kitchen window, who each tested out the quarters of the bluebird nesting box placed on a tree on the perimeter of our yard. I was concerned about that because the box was precariously balanced and if the couple decided to raise their young there, I did not want to take a chance of traumatizing them by their home falling down. I never had seen a bluebird in our yard. I spent ten minutes strategically putting in nails in the tree to assure the nesting box would stay in place. Now I have to wait to see if the bluebirds would come back.
