It is the wonderfully jumbled nesting period right now.

| Box 1 |
What's going on in this box, for example? Moss, sticks, grass. Tree swallows in and on the box. Appears the chickadees got there first but then got booted. Luckily no additional murders. Yet.

On the other hand, the unmistakable eggs of a bluebird. Three so far. More to come?

| Eastern Bluebird eggs, Box 11 |
Three more bluebird eggs! We have (at least) two breeding pairs this spring. The tree swallows and house sparrows are also active right now but so far no eggs.
In other news: swarming june bugs this morning. I may be wrong, but it appeared that both bluejays and cardinals were FLYCATCHING them. That's fun to see. Also, palm warblers.
