Bluebird Houses Placed on the Hill

It was spring in my backyard this afternoon, but a short hour later I found out it was still winter on Arunah Hill.

I placed five bluebird houses on the the Arunah Hill property. I couldn't find "optimal" sites for them, mostly I just placed them where I could get my posts into the ground.

Despite what your backyard may look like, there is still lots of snow on the hill, and the driveway is an icy mess past the barn. There is bare ground showing up here and there on the hill, but also knee deep slush piles in some spots.

On the bright side, looks like all of our buildings wintered over quick nicely.

I'd guess with several more days of warmth and sunshine, things could improve quickly. I expect we'lll at least be able to have an April workparty.

Thanks to Tom Johnson, Joan Presz, and my wife Cathy for the bluebird houses. We could still use a few more if anyone else wants to put one together. Now we'll have to wait and see if any nesting pairs like our hill.
