Today while on my lunch break, I decided to check my bluebird boxes at Rotary 
Park. 

The Bluebirds have finally picked up the pace and started laying, although it 
must be said they are two to three weeks behind, in getting it done.

Paper wasps, however, have jumped the gun, and any box without a bird nest in 
it, was occupied by Paper Wasps. Of course, they were displaced, and the roof 
and top sides of the boxes treated with a light coating of petroleum jelly. 

Five boxes have Bluebird eggs, Two have Carolina Chickadees, and the other 
three remain empty, for the time being. 

Hopefully, when the Great-crested Flycatchers get here, they'll fill in the 
gaps.

While checking the boxes, I heard and saw a (FOY) White-throated Vireo. 

Also worth mentioning: One of my boxes on the Menees trail, has a nest with 
seven bluebird eggs, which is a record, for me.   

Laus Deo!
