Two Nests With Nestlings

It's a bit early, but of the four nests built, two have hatched the chicks or part of. It's not even too late to build a nest and lay eggs. I am expecting Box 14 on the South side to do that. It has had a bluebird nest at least three years.

In one box, the three nestlings have hatched within a day, and two eggs are still to hatch. A little risky, as a week of cold weather may spell disaster for bluebirds.

On the North side, a shiny new box has five eggs. I may have to put a wren guard on that box. 

Next door to it, with an empty box, a house wren was busy inspecting it. It will fill it up with small sticks in a few weeks. I don't really want it invading the bluebirds next door.
