We cleaned out the bluebird box today, hoping that we get another round of babies. There's been some activity by the adults, but no sign of babies for 4-5 days. No food deliveries, no poop sacks coming out, nothing. The inside of the nest wasn't as clean as I'd thought, but I guess 5 babies has to put a strain on it.
We started with 5 eggs, counted 5 babies. We only saw 1 fledgling leave the nest, but when we cleaned it out there were no spoiled eggs or unsuccessful babies. So we're hoping all five made it out of the nest!
On to the next round!
