A couple of comments. The Black-necked Stilts which were sitting a nest in Turtle Pond have hatched 2 chicks. I found them the other day and they looked less than 3 days old. The Tree Swallows have been in and out of a nest box again. I am speculating that this may be a second clutch. Previously I had 2 individuals working a box and later 3 swallows were seen in the area. I never got a good look at all three but since that time I have only seen 2 in the area. Today I watched as the female entered the box and within a few minutes the male approached, stuck his head in the box, and immediately left. I believe they may be feeding young.
