The wild flowers and the butterflies were out in all their glory at Belle Isle
State Park this morning , as Carol Hammer and I made our rounds on the Bluebird
Trail. The flowers alone make it well worth the trip. Butterflies are an
added bonus !
This week we had 12 active bird boxes - 11 bluebird and 1 wren. We counted 8
bluebird eggs, 5 wren eggs,23 bluebird chicks and 9 fledged bluebird chicks.
One box had 4 dead new born bluebirds and one box had an inactive nest for the
third week so it was removed. Our guess is a predator picked off the parent
birds. There was a small black snake on the ground by box # 2 but he seemed to
be to small to defeat the baffle.
