How appropriate that our last baby chicks are leaving the nest on our Independence Day! We have been watching the birds peeking out of the box today so Chris went to check. Here's the last one before it joined the rest of the family. They are flying among the trees now.
The season in review:
- First egg documented April 2
- 5 Bluebirds fledged May 7
- 3 Chickadees fledged between May 11 and 15
- 4 Tree Swallows fledged June 17
- 3 Bluebirds fledged July 4
- 2 nests of Chickadees lost to predators
The End - Until 2009
