Two nests with 5 eggs

Nesting  continues on the South side. I will check the North side boxes a bit more carefully next time, but we only get a couple of Bluebirds interested there.

On the South side there are two boxes with 5 eggs and one box with two. This pair nested in the box closer to the road of  Box 3 and Box 4. That box has been a successful location several years in a row. The back box always has swallows, Box 4.




I'm not used to keeping track of mouse nests, but I believe a deer mouse carried several of her babies up the pole back to a box. Her young are rather grown now. Time to leave! The other two mice left their nest box. All mouse nests have been on the model shown in the front in the above photo. Mice do not nest in boxes that have the slot at the top.
