Near the end of the day, we saw the House Wren go into their nesting box and then watched him come back out. We weren't around too much yesterday, but we only saw the male Bluebird, so we're not sure what the status is. Did the House Wren chase them off? Is that enough for them to abandon the nesting box? We do have another nesting box that's available to them if they so choose and it's further away from the Wrens. I'll be keeping an eye out today to see what's happening.
We checked the House Wren box and we can't see any eggs in there- it's all nest.
The Tree Swallows have two babies in their box. This is the smallest number we've ever witnessed, but Dave reasoned that these two babies will be very strong as they are basically receiving one on one care from the parents.
Here's ma or pa Chickadee bringing home some lunch for the babies:
And the Chickadee babies look to be almost full grown and ready to head out into the great big world!
