Domestic Engineer
I watched this little female bluebird building her nest today. I was astounded by her industriousness and swiftness. She kept coming back to the nesting box over and over again, her tiny beak filled to capacity with grass, straw, sticks, pine needles. Then, when I thought I’d seen it all, she popped onto the box with a big feather in her beak. After the foundation had been laid, it seems she was adding a bit of flourish to her decor. A true home engineer, Mother Bluebird did the job by herself. By midday, she was sweltering hot and worn out. Papa Bluebird, surprisingly, did not lift a claw to help. I guess he’s saving his energy for all the hunting he’ll have to do when those babies hatch and start squawking for grub!
