I am so sorry! It is such a heartbreak when things go wrong. I think I’ve had everything but HOSP. It hurts.
So my second nest of 5 fledged this week and I cleaned out the box that night and left the door open to air out. The next morning there was pine straw in it and I thought I was crazy for not getting it all out. I closed the door after removing the pine straw and by day 2 a whole new nest is here with an egg in it. I have never seen anything like this! This is one prolific pair! So 10 already fledged and now to worry about the heat!
I take photos pretty much every day until close to fledge. All 5 made it out successfully and I cleaned out the box tonight. A GREAT start! Yay!
Hi Connie! All 5 hatched! Saw them first on Saturday and they looked a day or too old. Saturday was chilly and rainy and I worried about them all day but somehow they made it because parents are still going in and out.
We have been nice and warm. They should have hatched today but I was too busy with work to check. Excited to go out in the morning and see babies! Fingers crossed!
I never see my blues in the winter in coastal Alabama. It’s as though they migrate north in the winter!
I do have 5 shiny blue eggs as of March 15 so we are off to a good start.
Mine reliably leave for the winter and magically reappear in February. Now that I’m logging I can see how close to the date they return every year. It’s uncanny how they come within 1 or 2 days of the prior year.
