First Blue Babies

Has it really been since January that I last posted? 

Well, I have been expecting...bluebirds that is!  After checking the boxes the day before the Annual Blubird Conference (April 10th). I found one nest with five eggs.  The other two boxes were either empty or had the beginnings of a House Sparrow nest.  I have removed it half a dozen times by now.  The sparrow spooker that I attached a couple of weeks ago did not 'spook' these determined sparrows.  I guess they were already too attached to this box!  This is the same box that the sparrows kept getting into last year.  I am thinking about just moving it to a new location.  I am not up to the 'final solution' as some other bluebirders are. 

So for the last two or three days I have been checking box number one.  I knew that it would be any time now.  They must have just hatched.  Four were there and one egg remained.  I will check again tomorrow and snap a picture to post.  Such tiny babies!  Tiny little, fuzzy, pink, almost bald babies!
