Top Photo: Eastern bluebird eggs.

This should have been posted on May 20, 2025 but somehow missed.

Finally some action, there is a small clutch of eggs in one nest box. All the others are empty.

The Cow Pasture nest, though there are house wren twigs in the nest box, doesn’t seem active. The nest hasn’t been altered since last week’s inspection.

The Explore the Wild, Sailboat Pond, Into the Mist, and Parking Deck East nest boxes are all empty with no sign of activity.

The PKW nest box, after having been stuffed with grass and pine needles, then left alone for over a month, has finally become an active bluebird nest. It has three eggs inside the nest cup.

We finally have an active nest in a previously vacant nest box (PKW). The box had become a candidate for a nest during the first week of the season (3.4.25) when bluebirds placed a few pieces of pine straw into the box. It had a few moments of activity throughout the season but this is the first serious commitment to the nest, 3 eggs.

See you next week.
