Several New Clutches, Last Swallows in Boxes

There are still several fully grown tree swallows in some boxes, though most boxes are vacated.

This family, I think 4 left inside, are in a small box with a slot. All four come to the slot when the parent is heard. I think the slot is more democratic than a nest hole. On the 21st, at least 3 boxes still had swallows.

There are new clutches of eggs. These are bluebirds, though white. They are in one of the boxes the mice had thru May. On the North side Box 16 had 4 eggs, same on Jun 21st. About time to hatch!

There are few boxes needing more stable poles and one silly box on the South side left in a lot of forbes and sumac. I can walk through some grass, but this just needs to be moved, finally. There is a wren nesting in it now, first wren nest with eggs.
