Caught in the Act

We hung four bird houses a few weeks ago and had not seen any signs of birds occupying them. On Saturday we both worked outside all day and I kept seeing an Eastern Blue Bird flying back and forth to one of the bird houses. I could never see it actually go inside but it would fly there and land on the little perch, sit for a few seconds then fly away again. This went on over and over. Finally I walked over to the empty lot next to our lot and just stood there watching for a while. Sure enough the little bird came back and was going in and out of the bird house. At one point it sat inside with just its head peeking out and I felt it was time for the camera. Sorry to say the photo I managed to get was not the most flattering but I did catch it in the act of actually going in the birdhouse. I hope the other houses are as active. I want them all full!
