Eight bluebirds and two tree swallows fledged since my last update July 11.
There are now three boxes occupied by bluebirds: one with a newly-built nest, one with four blue eggs, and one with five newly-hatched bluebirds. The parents of those five little bluebirds aggressively swooped and clicked their wings at me as I checked their box.
I removed house sparrow nesting materials from three boxes, and four boxes are empty.
The wren flew out of its box, so it is still in use.
