Both Bluebirds were somewhat hesitant to go in the box after I situated myself close by but after a short time they resumed housecleaning.

A Hint of Spring: Eastern Bluebirds
During my Saturday morning outing I encountered a pair of Eastern Bluebirds cleaning a nest box. At first I thought they were building nest but as I observed their activity I noticed that they were carrying debris from the nest box.

A very nice sighting, congratulation. They are wonderful bird. I would love to see them and get nice pictures of them like that.
I cannot wait to see my first bluebird. I wish I could build houses for them but I get way too many house sparrows in my area. I have to go all the way to the next town to get my fix but it is worth it. I look for them every weekend.
Really nice photos. Such sweet little birds.
Great shots of these pretty birds.I am waiting for their return to our area.
Blessings,Ruth
What a beautiful bird! I am not a birdwatcher myself, but i enjoy their song and having them around when I walk in the woods! And - sometimes I manage to take a picture also! But the birds in your country are so different from my country!
A nice week to you!
I stopped and read your blog and looked at the photograph. I just wanted you to know.
I wish I could get them here. No luck in 45 years.
Salty: Your so lucky that these are in the PA mountains.
Are they cleaning out a "regular size" bluebird box? Or is it a box for something else they are using. Entrance hole looks kind of big.
And I thought we had to clean them out for them. Top photo is awesome.

These are birds that I have not seen at my place. Perhaps I need to be a bit more vigilant. Beautiful colors!
Great blue color. I enjoy watching your bird photos. I know very little about birds but I have bought me a book so hopefully I will learn more and even try to "shoot" some :-)
Beautiful!
