Checked the box this morning
One of 4 had hatched. Will check again tomorrow to see if the rest hatched.
This box is on a metal post in my garden and when I was out checking on her and gathering my tomatoes I found a nest in the middle of a tomato that is caged. I believe it is a song sparrow nest. One was in the same area last year. Her babies also were hatching today.
This is the latest we have had blue birds.
Ya summer continues. |

| My Bluebird's third clutch just hatched this morning. From what everyone else is saying, I'm guessing this is late. She only laid three eggs this time, but all three hatched. I thought the Blues would be gone by this time of year, so I'm feeling mighty lucky to still have them here. |

Well the 4 little ones flew the coup today. I did not see them go(the weeds in my garden have gotten to tall to see the nest box well & Mom was not happy about me being out there, so I decided not to weed (good excuse anyway)).
It was day 18 and mom has parted the hair on my head several times when I was in the garden picking tomatoes and beans.
They made it threw the very hot spell we had, I tried to put up a umbrella, but mom was so upset with me, I decided it was not worth it.
Was just glad to see they all made it out of the nest and into the real world.
