[mou-net] Blessed Event

[john c. nelson]

Turned on the camera this morning and there were 4 brand new baby  
Eastern Bluebirds. They apparently hatched overnght. They all seem  
healthy and are responding quickly to parents with food.
Her first egg was on 5/17, the fourth on 5/20, so they hatched in  
exactly two weeks. These two birds wasted no time as the entire  
process from their arrival at the box, nest building, laying, and  
hatching
took place in about three weeks. Bob Dunlap speculated this may have  
been a second nesting, I agree, as four eggs were less than we have  
seen in the past also.
