Cold Chicks

All the chicks seemed so cold and looked kind of gnarly. I checked on them as quickly as possible.

May 12, 2010:
Box 1: 1 cold egg (I'm leaving it for now, but will check tomorrow. I haven't noticed the adult bluebirds hanging around this box the last couple days.)
Box 2: completed nest (The birds build this overnight.)
Box 3: 4 chicks
Box 4: 3 chicks
Box 5: no more work done on nest - there is still only a thin layer of nesting material on the floo; tree swallows have favored this box as a perching site the past 2 years
Box 6: empty

Peterson box, Kings Hwy. west: 5 chicks with mama on the nest (hatched ~May 8)
