I am no longer doing the Pioners Park nest boxes. There are certainly Tree Swallows again. At least one nest with eggs.
On the South Side in a box that was mostly House Wrens by July a pair is nesting. The eggs have hatched days ago. I had a peek. (don't do this if you do not have supplies, like an extra nail).
Both of the parents were seen bringing in green larvae. The box is shown below.
Adrian, another master naturalist is taking care of the bluebird boxes from now on. I will not know for a while how many pairs nested. But at least two, I think. I have no way to follow them from egg to hatch to fledge anymore.
Sep 2024: texted Adrian and we estimated 7 fledged birds for the 2024 summer.
