It was almost too steamy to go out to check the bluebird boxes today. 90+ degrees and 70% humidity.
The insects seemed to be enjoying the heat. I spotted several butterflies - Red Admirals, sulphurs and Commas, but they were flitting so fast, I couldn't get any photos.
Box #1 had three chubby chicks. The hen was sitting on them when I arrived. She took off when I closed my car door.
Box #6 has 4 bluebird eggs
Boxes 3, 5 and 8 are empty. I doubt if we'll see a 3rd nest in them this month, but I'll keep checking.
