All of our six nest boxes are empty, though one has the remains of an intended nest by a house wren, and one has an abandoned bluebird nest having just fledged five of the colorful thrushes.

The Cow Pasture nest box still has the scanty attempt at nesting by a house wren at the end of April. The nest was never completed.

The Explore the Wild, Sailboat Pond, Into the Mist, and Parking Deck East (PKE) nest boxes are all empty.

The PKW is also empty, having just fledged five eastern bluebirds to join the local avifauna.

This very well could be the end of the season. I see no fresh nest material being added to any of the nest boxes. Even though there’s still plenty of time for our local birds to get in another brood, it doesn’t seem likely. We’ll have to wait and see what happens, but there doesn’t seem to be any interest from the birds.

Again, we’ll have to wait and see.

We intend to keep making inspections for several more weeks just to be sure.

Have a cool week out there.
