Birds in Motion


Yupp, that's right, photographing the bluebirds in motion was my goal for this week's check. I think i was pretty successful, got about 5 or 6 really great pictures. Check out the best one below!
Normal box updates:
C1: last week, 3 babies had hatched, this week, the babies were much bigger, and it was impossible to tell how many eggs/babies there were.
C2: Last week, we saw two nests after the birds had fledged. This week, there were SIX EGGS!!! hopefully all six will hatch into bluebirds :)
C3: four bluebirds successfully fledged. One egg was left, meaning our previous count of 5 babies was incorrect. A new nest had also formed!
C4: last week we cleanedout the box from the fledglings and this week a new nest was formed with one egg!
C5: box remained empty after the fledglings left two weeks ago
C6: New box with an active nest. No clue as to how many eggs because the mother bird was nesting when we went to check!
R Family box: no check this week because the birds are fledging

All other boxes remained the same...don't forget to check for more exciting bluebird news next week!
