Ben was scheduled to monitor the Bluebird trail this weekend, but unfortunately his dad got called into work at the last minute and he was unable to monitor. I enjoyed monitoring the trail this weekend, but am disappointed that Ben didn't get a chance to. Hopefully he'll still be able to go out before the season is over.
Box #1's 2 chicks are now 14 days old and looking good. It is a very well feathered nest, hard to see into. I know that there are at least 2 chicks, but there may be a 3rd.
Box #2 potentially has an issue. The nest is a small nest, about half the size of the normal nests. The Bluebird mom decided to the 4 eggs in the nest this small, and nothing really we could do, and I was hoping for the best. This weekend one of the eggs has hatched, and I am optimistic that it may be a newly hatched chick, but unfortunately it looks perhaps more like a a 3-4 day old chick that is not doing well. We will have to keep an eye on this nest.
Box #3 now has 5 eggs. I would expect Athen to find chicks in this box next week.
Box #7's 4 eggs have hatched and are now 3-5 day old chicks. The parents were dive-boming me today!
Good luck Athen next week!
