Our Eastern Bluebird successfully hatched her 3rd set of eggs this
morning.
The four nestlings appear to be doing well. Through daily observation
at the mealworm feeders
and direct observation via the nest cam there is no doubt all three
hatches were by the same pair.
We know the first four fledglings (from five eggs) survived. Survival
of the second hatch of five
is uncertain as the extreme heat caused some to leave the nestbox
early. We have seen two from that hatch being
fed in nearby trees.
