Today we saw some new nests as well as some new eggs. In Box One we found four (yes four) bluebird eggs!! So exciting!! The eggs were a bit small, not as big as a chicken egg but we know they were blue bird eggs because they were light blue and smaller than robin eggs. Do you remember the unknown nest Box 4? Well, we decided to clear that one out because nothing got built since last week so we assumed that there were no birds living there. In Box Five we found the an unknown nest (again.) Funny thing was that was the same nest as the other unknown nest. That's why we are needing an ornithologist to help us identify this unknown nest. Please please please comment if you know what kind of nest that is (that goes for teachers too!) RY

May I see a picture of box 5? And if you see any feathers or other material near or around the nest, it would help.

EW, you might want to make sure you put initials for every person.

Do you know the "unknown eggs?" I think the eggs are from a house wren. The feathers also match it I think.
