Hi All,
One of the tasks that those of us in the BCBC who monitor our 78 bluebird nest 
boxes each week from April through August have, is to try to determine the age 
of the young birds in the nest box. Well, some people at the Bluebird 
Restoration Association of Wisconsin have put together a page of photos showing 
the age of a bluebird from day 1 through day 14 by concentrating on the wing 
development. These photos can be found at 
http://www.braw.org/info/14_Day_Dev_Chrt.swf  This should make our job of aging 
bluebirds easier.
