Nice Wake-up Call

This morning when I woke up, an Eastern Bluebird was sitting on our TV antenna just outside of our bedroom. He was singing his heart out. I just laid in bed and listened to him for ten minutes. I really hope he's going to use the box in our yard. He could be checking out the Purple Martin housing too. They nested in one of the gourds a couple of years ago and actually hatched some eggs. A male House Sparrow got in the nest and killed all the chicks. That sparrow was promptly trapped and he experienced the same fate of the bluebird chicks. Anyway, I'm hoping for some success in my box and the box in my aunt's yard.
