Nest Check- June 5, 2011
Looks like our Bluebirda had two of their three eggs hatch. We have seen a very busy papa Bluebird coming and going to the nesting box. We haven't seen the female in a few days (not that we've been watching all day, every day, but we were out front most of Sunday and didn't see her). If something happened to her, would the male take over caring for the young? Does anyone know about that in terms of Bluebird behaviour?
Dave was continually dive-bombed by the Tree Swallows when he checked on their box. Looks like five eggs. Very exciting!!
We love birds! They are so interesting and beautiful. I think their importance to our ecosystems and the bigger picture are often overlooked. I hope my blog can be a means to show the uniqueness and beauty of a variety of bird species.
