Bluebirds, Tree Swallows and House Sparrows


Box #3:  Bluebirds are about to fledge 3 healthy chicks in the BRAW bluebird box by the utility pole at the entrance to the Eau Galle Cheese factory.


Box #1:  Tree Swallows have built a beautiful nest with 3 eggs (so far) in the box by State Rd 25.  Unfortunately this box is not the best design (too much ventilation and too little space inside).  The birds have ignored it until this week - and I hope they can survive the design flaws.

Box #2:  House Sparrows continue to build a nest in the box by the parking lot.  This box also suffers from design flaws (the hole is way too big and the interior dimensions are on the small side).  I removed the House Sparrow nest - no eggs.
