One thing I love about living in Montana is the abundance of natural wildlife we have. From wild turkeys to elk and everything in between, Montana has a lot to offer. Living in Montana gives you a unique perspective on nature and allows me to become closer to the wildlife and ecosystems that support it. About a month ago, we went to our local Wild Birds Unlimited store and purchased 4 wooden blue bird boxes. We were told to hang these up in March and have them facing the East. We went around our property and hung up the boxes in various locations around our property. A few weeks went by and we saw minimal activity. But then all of sudden, the Mountain Bluebirds started to appear! The gorgeous blue birds were all around our nesting boxes and we couldn’t be more excited. All of the work was finally starting to pay off. In fact, just the other morning as I was on my way to take care of our chickens, I spotted this bluebird at our garden nesting box. Below are some pictures for you to enjoy!
