Eggs and Chicks

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.
