Bonnie and Clyde – 2 parts romeo & juliet, 1 part getaway car
The other day, after finding the bluebirds nest ravished by a gnarly racoon, I thought for sure they’d move on to start their second brood somewhere else. Bonnie and Clyde don’t give up that easy it seems 
, because just a few days later, I see them around the feeders and the birdhouse. Curiosity got the best of me after a few days so I sneeked a peek. Whoa, what do I find but 3 sparkling little eggs:
I gotta tell ya, I felt a bit like Count von Count from Sesame Street, everyday finding a new egg, for a whopper of a total – 5 cuddly bluebird eggs!
So, here it is 12 days later and the nest is still secure with my bungie cord, the weather’s been warm – perfect for a nesting mommy. Just a few days more and I’m hoping to hear the peeps chorus to wake me.
Anxiously awaiting the pitter-patter of little talons hehe
Oh yeah! We’ve suspected for days that Bonnie and Clyde were bringing back food and supplies to their new gang members. Sure enough, this morning I was outside enjoying my morning cup of coffee, when I hear the faint peeps of baby bluebirds. Both Bonnie and Clyde are rather hostile if you get anywhere near the birdhouse, dive-bombing and clicking up a storm. As nature is always better left uninterrupted, I’ll wait till they start fledging before I take some pics.
