Bluebird season

The bluebirds are back.  We've seen 3 visiting occasionally - can't tell how many males or females yet.  They actually snack out of the sunflower seed feeder, visit the birdbath, and seem to be staking a claim on the bluebird box.  Hopefully they won't have the problems they had last summer, and can hatch more than one set of eggs. 

I am tempted to buy some mealworms for them, even at the insane price of $15+ per pound.  The most I pay for anything else is $2/pound for the high-protein peanut mix that the jays like, and even that I mix with black-oil sunflower seed (50 cents/pound).
