That's awesome! I have a bluebird house, and it worked for a year or two but the last couple of years, swallows have bullied them out of it.

Just put another bluebird house 10 to 20 feet from it. The swallows hate sparrows but do not mind the Bluebirds. I also put some hard, slick 4" PVC Pipe over my poles to keep the coons from raiding the nests. The "Circle of Life" explanation does not satisfy a 6 year old when the nest was raided.

I have two bluebird boxes for the last 25 years. Most years both with blue birds. The more bug eating birds the better. I've had swallows, but most years not. Need to put out a few more boxes for the swallows.

I have a pair of bluebirds in my yard, not sure where they are nesting. Thought they may just be passing through, but I've been seeing them for over a month now.

Now that is cool> How did you set the camera up for those shots?
