Well, we are still waiting for the bluebird eggs to hatch!!! We noticed eggs on April 22nd. It is supposed to take about 13-14 days from the last egg laid. That makes us about 3 weeks late!!!! It makes me wonder if something happened along the way and we got a new set without knowing it... The mother bird is still sitting on them as she is flushed from the box every time we go out. The last time I went by myself and she was poking her beak out of the box (see picture). I think this is a hopeful sign.

So exciting . . . I checked my robin's nest and it was empty! One shell on the ground underneath the forsythia bush the nest is hidden in, but the others were gone! Makes me worry that someone/thing got into the nest :(

We checked the nest today June 18, 2013. Two baby birds have hatched but were not in the nest but yet there are still four eggs left that have not hatched. There was a lawn mower person who was mowing with a big, loud mower and it might have scared the momma bird and the babies.
