Hi COBirders, Weekly check of 85 "bluebird" houses at the USAFA showed 7 early nests being constructed - I think all by WB Nuthatch. Four seem ready but no eggs yet (have seemed prepared for at least a week. - waiting for bugs??).
Also, had two FOY VG Swallow - BUT both were inside boxes, (about 200 yards apart) both had head wounds on the right side of the head, one was already dead, the other didn't look so hot, but was conscious. W Bluebirds have been hanging around the boxes for 6 weeks already, and some early nest inspection has been going on - but nothing serious yet. Same with Pygmy Nuthatch. Most years I start seeing some eggs about 4/28. Good birding, Steve Brown Colorado Springs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Join us at the 2009 Convention in Alamosa: http://cfo-link.org/convention/index.php You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
