Bluebirds ...Round 2

Can't believe it, but we have a newly constructed bluebird nest with 1 egg. We had suspected they were going to nest again after they began building a nest in the "white" house. They then abandoned it and began building one in the "cedar" house last week.

Very exciting! The watch and wait continues! And something else funny when I think of it...with the last nesting, the first eggs began hatching on Mother's Day and here we go this time with the 1st egg being laid on Father's Day. What's the chance of that happening?
