LOVE! Have you heard of Nestwatch? It's a citizen science project by Cornell where you report your nests to them to help track birds. It's all done online. Bluebirds are so tolerant of people and therefore easy to monitor. It's safe to check the babies every 2-3 days, but not on cloudy rainy days, or before 10am. Once they are 13 days old, you can't check anymore because they fledge at 16 days and can be frightened into jumping out early after the 13th day. Hope you can share more pictures as they grow!
Joyful, Suzan....Bravo, great job
