For several months a pair of Western bluebirds here at Dallas Retirement Village seemed to fail at getting serious about making a nest and raising babies. They would become completely consumed at destroying what they presumed were other Western Bluebird, which in reality were merely their own reflection in the rearview mirrors of nearby cars. Finally on Friday, May 23rd, we watched the female enter the nesting box, and the male followed up with food. We watched him return with food several times, so we think she is probably setting on eggs. This bird house is located on the chain link fence in the south-west corner of the community garden. If you are interested in watching their progress, there is a convenient bench outside the fence.
