Foxhound & I took over monitoring 6 Western Bluebird boxes in O'Neill Regional Park this year.
We first checked them March 30th. Some already had nests in progress.
Today, May 4th, we went to our 2nd SoCal Bluebird Club meeting then, checked our boxes. THREE have babies! One has five, two have one chicks. So exciting!
Last week, we had people watching us. They took pictures of the chicks!
We have NEW Rangers at O'Neill again. One, comes from Laguna Regional Park, she is great - Gillian from the SCBC told us she was coming to OUR park from hers. We stopped by to introduce ourselves today.
In addition to the 6 boxes at O'Neill, we also added one @ Monte Vista Park & another in a neighbors' tree. The one in Monte Vista -- too cool. There was a pair of Bluebirds WATCHING us as we hung the thing! That was about four weeks ago. Today... they aggressively protected it when Foxhound took it down to check the progress. Nest is nicely completed! no eggs yet - but, the pair of BBs is very active at the box!
Til next time...
