| Young male bluebird out on his own! |
Only
three boxes are occupied now on the trail. In those boxes are a total of 13 healthy
young bluebirds (five over a week old, and eight recently hatched). The other
eight nest boxes remain empty.
Ants
had moved into the box with the unused bluebird nest inside it, so I removed
the nest (and some ants). Since no new bluebird eggs had been laid in the nest
where the four eggs disappeared last week, I removed that nest also.
I
was pleased to come upon a speckled young male bluebird perched in a little tree
near one of the occupied boxes.
