Thanks so much for following this blog and being interested in the bluebirds!
We checked most boxes today...some very exciting news
C1: last week there were five eggs, still five eggs and some very active parents this week
C2: no check because the birds are in the process of fledging
C3: some VERY big babies...check out the picture at the top, they have lots of feathers and are fully aware of what is going on, this is the last time we get to check on those babies
C4: same as C1, no check because they are fledging
C5: this box had not been checked for two weeks while the birds were fledging. We checked this week and all the birds had left! that means somewhere out there are five new bluebirds that we helped bring into the world. how cool is that? we cleared out the nest and hopefully a new nest will be built soon.
C6: yupp that's right, we finally added another box to the cemetary. It is right outside the fenced off area and as soon as we put the box up, bluebirdds flew into the tree. hopefully this box will get some activity soon!
We also check the R family box today and they have five new baby bluebirds. They are tiny meaning they probably hatched a few days ago. When we opened the box, they opened their tiny beaks saying "feed me! feed me!" okay, not really, but they did open their beaks for food. The picture above is of the R family babies.
Like usual, none of the other boxes have any activity. The box at school will be checked tomorrow.
Like usual, if you do have any questions, comments, concerns, comment here!
