Fledged

The bluebirds fledged today. I checked the box at 4:30 and they were gone. They couldn't have been gone long. There was still a very fresh dropping on the nest. So, out of two broods, we had six bluebird chicks fledge. Hopefully this is a trend that will continue. I'm going to move the box in my yard to another spot in hopes of getting two pair nesting next year. All that the box in my yard has done is house red wasps. It's a lot of fun to see the bluebirds hunting in my yard. The male and female spend quite a bit of time sitting on the fence watching the ground for insects. I've seen the young birds at my birdbath. It will be fun to watch them mature and learn how to do things on their own over the next few months.
