The other day, I could sense that the bluebirds must've fledged, but I still waited a day or two before opening the box. I'd been in Kentucky for a good part of their early days and barely checked in on them for fear they'd be old enough to jump out. From what I can tell, three must've fledged and two unviable eggs were left. I just posted a new thread where I mentioned that already...but the main purpose of the thread was that for two years in a row, I've had tree swallows lay eggs but then disappear. Losing birds to heat and blowflies seems worse than eggs that never hatched.

dap, that first photo, is that the bluebird nest? The eggs look speckled with brown to me.
