Recent News - New Baby Blues

Hi all,

We've not been on the forum for awhile, but it's been an extraordinarily busy and somewhat hectic nesting season here. In our earlier report we were happy to announce the successful fledging (of five) from Missy's 1st nest of the season. Another perfect nesting for her (and the first with her new mate, Ben).

The 2nd nesting (of six) was not so perfect... 2 chicks died in the box for reasons unknown just prior to fledging, and we've apparently lost another since the remaining 4 left the box. Fortunately, the surviving 3 are doing well and appearing on the deck now daily:

I'm just about Speechless, WOW!
I love how the page opens to the first picture. It immediately grabs your interest.

A pleasure as always to visit with Missy and co....
Best of luck to all concerned for the new brood!

Great shots, as always.

They are such nice captures

Super series, Kenn. The first one is money.

Wonderful!!!! They are so cute begging at mom

neat series, Kenn

Excellent shots

lovely set Kenn

Thanks to all for your encouraging comments.

I'm happy to report that Missy does indeed have her first egg in that 4th nest now.

We'll be back,

Kenn

Glad to hear an update, Kenn. And to see all your wonderful images of the birds. Nature takes its course and it's not always as pretty as your pics.

Loving the beautiful survivors! Too cute.

So sad when chicks are lost but the survivors look fantastic. Missy is quite a mom and she's seems to have found a good mate. Congrats Kenn and hopefully these little ones will be just as fruitful for your Bluebird haven.

As always, great series of shots.

Very cute! I lost my first nest to a predator (not sure what, snake maybe) and my 2nd nest is doing fine. Chicks are 10 days old now and I've been watching them on the nestbox camera. Hope to get some photos when they fledge!
