Busy, busy, busy! This sweet female Eastern Bluebird is perched atop a nesting box, carrying dried grass to build a nest on an April evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
I watched her take her nesting materials and pop them inside the hole of the nesting box, so cute!
Eastern Bluebirds are small thrushes known for being cavity nesters, often utilizing man-made nest boxes when natural woodpecker holes are unavailable.
These songbirds are known for their sweet and melodious vocalizations, and are traditionally considered harbingers of spring.
