Bluebird Cam Update 6/26/2017

[yortsed snacilbuper]

The bluebirds have started their second nesting period of the season. The nest was started on 6/20 and the first egg was laid on 6/24. She will lay an egg a day until the full clutch is laid. Once this is done she will start incubating the eggs. The incubation period is 11-19 days and all chicks will hatch on the same day. The chicks will fledge 17-21 days after hatching.

6. You are so lucky to have Bluebirds

Every year they come to my yard in April or May, start a nest, lay eggs, then the evil House Wrens come and destroy the eggs and drive the Bluebirds away. I have a new strategy I will try next year though. Hope springs eternal!
