On March 23rd, two pairs of bluebirds were seen going in and out of nests boxes near the Trailfinders Lodge. Seems too early for them to be thinking about nesting!   Adult female Adult female Adult pair Adult male Adult female Adult male These photos were taken in July and August of 2000 soon after the juveniles fledged from their nearby nest boxes on the reserve.
