7-9-2008 Activity at 3-hole nest box, and first sighting of a fledgling!

The Mississippi Kite is checking out meal possibilities in my yard. Apologies for the jerky camera action.

My project inspired by tree3

Playing around with slow motion effects.

The first chicks fledged at 20 days old. The last one fledged the following day.

Day 17 in the lives of bluebird chicks. They are anxious to get out of the nest and parents are encouraging them to do just that!

TAGGED BY MARITA!

It all began on April 6, when two adult titmice started a nest, and came to a close, yet a new beginning, on May 21 when the last chick fledged.

The baby Tufted Titmice have fledged...left the nest...flew the coop!

At last the Blues have arrived. This shows the nest box selection process. The male encourages the female to enter a nest box. She makes the final decision. This video was filmed yesterday. Update: The female has accepted this location! UPDATE: 1st egg laid May 21!

This bird is non-native to North America, and is a serious threat to our native birds...especially the Bluebird.

UPDATE: This nest box is occupied by TUFTED TITMICE, not Bluebirds! I guess my eyes had deceived me, plus wishful thinking! But the Titmice are very welcome here, as well! My front yard Bluebird habitat.
