Nest Box Update 5.30.26

Top Photo: Eastern bluebird, male.

There has been only one change since last week, the house wrens that were bickering over the nest in one of the boxes (PKW) have added to their nest.

———————————

The Cow Pasture, Explore the Wild, Sailboat Pond, Into the Mist, and Parking Deck East boxes are all inactive. They all have been left alone for weeks.

The only nest box that has seen progress is the Parking Deck West (PKW) box. As I walked up to the nest box it was evident wrens had been busy. The little troglodytes had piled a bunch of twigs on top of the old bluebird nest inside the box and at least one was obvious as I approached, it stuck out of the entrance hole.

The only active nest at this time is a house wren nest in the nest box on the west side of the parking deck. We’ll have to wait till next week to see if the wren finishes the nest and lays eggs.

Till then…
