Most of the bluebirds have long since departed from Idaho to warmer climes, but I still have my photos of them to enjoy. This concerned pair of Mountain Bluebirds is keeping watchful eyes upon me as I check the contents of their nestbox. As soon as I enter data in my notes, I close the nestbox and depart. The parents seem to tolerate my intrusion, for they soon go about their business of caring for their nest. It just takes a couple of minutes for me to gather the information I need. Banding a nest of  five nestlings takes less than ten minutes. I try to make my intrusions as quickly as posible. It’s a joy to work with a subject as tolerant as the bluebird.
