I checked the nest this morning to just make sure-and sure enough, they were gone. There was one egg that didn't hatch. It was smaller than the others, so maybe that is why.

Bluebirds Have Fledged
Well, the baby bluebirds fledged and I missed it again. My mother and I were sitting on the porch Saturday night watching the parents feed the babies. The babies kept poking their head out and I just knew they were getting ready to fledge. Well, we went inside to have dinner and I guess they fledged then. Drat! Oh well, maybe next time.
I checked the nest this morning to just make sure-and sure enough, they were gone. There was one egg that didn't hatch. It was smaller than the others, so maybe that is why.
I cleaned out the nest box and disposed of the old nest. Now I'll need to keep an eye out for the next courtship ritual. Stay tuned!
