Como Park Bluebird Trail Update: May 23rd, 2016
Post contributed by Sharon, volunteer bluebird trail monitor:
This week, no more bluebirds have yet hatched,
but 4 out of 6 chickadees in one nest did. The first 4 bluebirds to hatch are
now a week old and doing well. In three boxes there are 15 bluebird eggs: 6
white ones and 9 blue ones (these should hatch very soon, if all is going
well). Another chickadee box has 7 eggs. There is one tree swallow nest that
probably contains eggs under all the feathers and three partially made
not-yet-identifiable nests in three other boxes. One box is still empty.
