Only
five nest boxes are now occupied, and all of them belong to bluebirds. In the
past week, the last of the tree swallows, at least three, fledged. Four
bluebirds also fledged. That pair of bluebirds may begin a third brood—a new
nest has already been built on the old empty one. Eight more bluebirds from two
nest boxes will likely fledge in the coming week. There are four week-old
bluebirds and five eggs in the two other boxes. To date, the trail has fledged
at least 19 bluebirds, 20 tree swallows, and 6 chickadees.
