Box Four Family In Your Face!

The 5 youngsters are quite well, and as the box has a hole I am able to photograph through, this is what I saw:

They may be ready to fly out by next week. The other boxes seem to be a little slower in coming along. The box with two well developed young was a bit of a mystery. See my previous post on them. They were gone! The unhatched egg was still there. I am a bit unsure if they fledged. But with only two being fed, perhaps they grew fast.

On the North side, Box 13, unlucky two years in a row, lost all eggs this May. But there are four more eggs in it:

Box 16 on the North has four nestlings. They were a bit lethargic, and I did not see the parents around. It took some effort to determine that they were breathing. Let's give them a 60% chance to survive. I will see that box first thing next week.
