I haven't been keeping up with my bluebird reports. Before I forget, I should note that the four bluebird babies in box #1 fledged sometime ago. Just the other day, I found that the bluebirds in box #2 had hatched. This is the same box where I found the dead tree swallow babies.
I also have two boxes near the house for the Jenny Wrens. Both have nestlings in them, but I don't track these. One box is in the kitchen garden right out the back door. It is over my raspberry patch where the Wren parents enjoy the raspberries and Japanese beetles, too, I'm sure. My chickens sure do. I have caught them in the act of jumping up and grabbing raspberries straight off the cane. They really love 'em! Our one little Rhode Island Red Hen (Rhoda) who is so tame, will stand on my hand and eat raspberries and japanese beetles as I pull them off the canes for her with the other hand.
