Another nesting season comes to an end. I will not bother this family any more. They will fledge soon and I don't want to make them fledge early. I think this was our msot successful season ever. We had 5 fledged families (Bluebird - 4, Bluebird - 4, Titmouse - 5, Tree Swallow - 5, Tree Swallow - 4) for a total of 22 babies. Last year we had 19 fledglings.
This was our first Tufted Titmouse nest too. I know it's the same thing every year but I never get tired of watching them.

Surprisingly the Tree Swallows didn't miss me at all while I was away! All 4 of them are growing and cute.

The Bluebirds have fledged. We saw them a couple of days ago flying around near the nest box and calling to each other.
Yesterday I took my niece to see the baby Tree Swallows and she got a bonus of seeing one of the parents too. We only stayed long enough to snap this quick photo. This will be our last nesting family for the season.

The Tree Swallows should hatch any day now.
These 4 cute Bluebirds will be heading out soon.

Earlier this week we got this cute video of the baby bluebirds. After you watch the video, go see the great graphic created at The Objects of Design inspired by these cuties.
That video was from last week. Look at how much they have grown in jsut a few days. We took this photo Thursday evening.
The Tree Swallow is still incubating.
