At least one nest for Bluebirds

I checked the boxes that had the mouse nests, and the problem is, all had mouse pups in them. So those will not be available for bluebirds. Checking again mid May.

The two brand new boxes had nothing, but at a nearby box, there was one fully built nest with no eggs. There have been eggs in April in a few years, and some of those even hatched and survived, but on the whole, April eggs are a risk of failure here.


Swalllow have settled on who gets what box and have put some grass and feathers in a few boxes. Swallow eggs do not come till mid May.

Here are the deermice that were in 3 boxes.
