| Three bluebirds, just over a week old, and an unviable egg. |
Eight chickadees fledged in the past week and their box now joins three others empty on the trail. A fifth box is empty after I removed a house sparrow nest from it.
Four bluebirds and two tree swallows will fledge sometime in the next week.
One box has three just-over-a-week-old bluebirds inside (and one unviable egg), another has one nearly-two-week-old bluebird. There are five bluebird eggs in the box by the downed ash tree.
Wrens are still occupying the last hanging box. It is possible they’ve begun a new brood, since they nest once or twice a season. Anyway, they are not done with the box yet.
So far this year the trail has fledged a total of 14 bluebirds, 12 chickadees, and 5 tree swallows.
