More sad news. The Eastern Bluebird hatchlings in Nest Box Delta have died. Was it because of cold temperatures (in mid-30's)? Doesn't seem likely. Was it from an invader (one of the four hatchlings was missing when Patrick cleaned out the nest box)? With no other evidence, we have to chalk it up to "Bad Luck." As just mentioned, we cleaned out the nest box with the hope that the breeding pair will try again.
On a brighter note, Patrick observed five(!) scissortail flycatchers on the north and east fence around noon. Alas, he did not have his camera with him.
