Bluebirds Pick New White House at Noodlin' Inn

The new Bluebird nesting box, the White House, has been up for about six weeks. While it might be a little unsightly, the white panels are heat shields that will keep the temperature down in the hot summer months. The box was built by a troop of Boy Scouts in Kaufman. I went with them to put new nesting boxes up at Lake Tawakoni and they gave me one.

After I put it up, Bill and Hillary didn't know what to think about it, but low and behold, last Monday, Bill (left) started moving in! So look forward to a busy summer of Bluebird watching. On that same Monday, two male Purple Martins checked out the Purple Martin Hotel on the dock, but so far, nobody has checked in.
