[Mnbird] Bluebirds return?

[Betsy Kerr]

You may recall that I reported E. Bluebirds nesting in our suburban Golden
Valley yard (and Barn Swallows in the neighbors' yard) in July.  Twice in
the last ten days, I have observed in the morning a small whirlwind of
birds in our vegetable garden, which included some of the resident species
of Sparrows and Finches, as well as what seemed to be a small family group
of E. Bluebirds--a couple of adults and one or two Immatures.  The
Bluebirds in particular spent a good deal of time hovering in front of and
perching on the nestbox that was used in July.  Is it at all possible that
this is the same family group returning to their nesting site?  I didn't
seriously consider this a possibility the first time, but now that it has
happened again, I'm wondering.
