Bluebirds! Season 6. Episode 8. Satisfaction.

Box 2, Charles River Peninsula, Needham, MA
The first bluebird broods have fledged.
Box 11, Charles River Peninsula, Needham, MA
I pulled out the nests to give them a place to try again. But halfway through, this breeding season is already a success. Two broods of bluebirds fledged.
Box 12, Charles River Peninsula, Needham, MA
Tree swallow eggs are beginning to hatch. And the birds with smashed eggs last week are determined not to let it happen again. 
Box 4, Charles River Peninsula, Needham, MA
Chickadee eggs are hatching too. Two new eggs in the second chickadee nest.
Box 17, Charles River Peninsula, Needham, MA
The house wrens have found empty spaces to fill with sticks. And there are no house sparrows anywhere. From here on out, barring catastrophic weather or vandalism, things should run smoothly. My job this spring is just about done.
