During the recent extremely cold weather in Wisconsin, a group of Eastern Bluebirds has been roosting nightly in our front yard Peterson bird house. We first noticed their presence early on Jan 21st about 7AM while looking out a front window and were completely surprised to see seven bluebirds fly out of our bluebird house. It was still fairly dark at that time on a cloudy day. The bluebirds were gone all day, presumably feeding somewhere in the neighborhood. At this time of year our property has no shrubs bearing winter fruits for them to feed on.
