Nest box 5 seems to the successful one for this season. When I checked the nest boxes on April 6, there was a baby blue bird that appeared to be one or two days old. There were five more eggs in the nest. It would be great if all of them hatched and the babies survived.
Whenever I check box 5 the parents fly up into a nearby tree and keep watch. Hopefully I will be able to get a good picture of them this year. They do not seem to understand about how lighting and glare affects a picture. The silouettes of them in the tree do not give too much detail.
Nest box 1 appears to have been abandoned. I have not seen any activities around it. There are three eggs, but I think it is way past the incubation period for them. They were in the nest when I checked it on March 14. The maximum incubation time is 15 days. When I check the nest next time, I will remove the nest and eggs and maybe someone else will decide to occupy the box.
