Well, things had been going well. This picture is from last weekend when the pair was sitting up on the deck pillar. I was seeing the pair everyday hanging out around and in both boxes. That's right...the bluebird box and the other box I put up a couple of years ago for the tree swallows. They too were interested in the bluebird box so I gave them their own space. (Still haven't seen them yet this year.)
I'm not sure what the bluebirds were up to. I saw both the male and female going in and out of the boxes. I still have not seen any actual nest building materials going in either box.
Well, we had a large snow storm this last Thursday. We probbly ended up with 10-12 inches and had blizzard-like conditions at times. (We were supposed to get 16-22.) When the snow stopped and the sun came out yesterday, Friday, there was no sign of either bluebird...the entire day. And I have not seen them today either. I'm not sure what's going to happen next - I hope they are still around.
