Boxes full of eggs (including one stubborn house sparrow nest) but no chicks, yet. Maybe the bluebirds chicks have hatched. I don't know.

For half the boxes I'm back to being an observer. I'm enjoying watching the couple at box 19. The female is a first-year (lovely brown).

This has been a good year so far for grassland birds. Meadowlark and kestrel visited. And bobolink (one female and seven males seen) and savannah sparrows are spending a lot of time in the grass. Fingers crossed!
