Outside our North Fork home. How to raise a family.
Mr. bluebird is looking good. (Apologies for anthropomorphizing. Can’t resist)
Yes! He attracts a potential mate
First, they go looking for an apartment
He looks it over
She has her turn
She disappears while he waits outside impatiently
Yes, it looks promising
Let me check too
OK, now to furnish it.
She does her part, too
A few pine needles for contrast
I think I’ve found some good stiff material we can use
Later, home gets a bit crowded with the addition of 4 little ones
They are curious about the outside world but not ready to go out into it
The work goes on. The kids have to be fed. Honey bees and grasshoppers are the preferred meals
Maybe a wasp for dessert
The youngsters finally venture out and eventually start looking for a place for
themselves.
Maybe a duplex?
