We have been watching this Mama Bluebird tending her babies for several days. This is the second brood produced in this bluebird house this summer. A few weeks back we spotted a big black snake doing some amazing climbs as he hunted, probably for birds. He was banished; and today we exiled another one. Last year we had a black snake that made his way to the top timbers in the barn, and that may be why we are short on barn swallows. The snakes have been put on notice that they are not welcome around our feathered friends.
