Box 1
4: Still no eggs, no adults. Nest is complete; made of dried grass.
5: There has been activity with blue birds but so far no eggs. Maybe they will come soon, and many will be there! Lots of what looks like a straw/dead grass has been used to make the nest.

Box 2
4: Today is a warm, sunny day with the 2 eggs still there. No sign of mother bird today. The eggs are like a minty color. We predict the mother is near the forest area.
5: At first, all we could see were feathers so we started looking for the previously laid eggs. We were nervous someone was building on top of them! Then we saw the eggs covered with feathers; possibly by mother.

Box 3
4: Today was sunny. WE think the bluebirds built their nest with the leaves, grass/hay. We hope to see eggs next week in box 3.
Box 4
4:
Today is warm and sunny. We are pretty sure the bluebirds made their next out of dead grass from the surrounding field and forest area. Bluebirds love flying across an open meadow to a box near a forest. No progress yet with eggs, only the nest.
5:In box 4 it showed little to no signs of activity. Also the nest is full of spider webs.

Box 5: The Literal Empty Nest
4: Unfortunately, we found the box open which could mean signs of human activity. We saw nothing... a whole lot of nothing.
5: When we were going to look at our box it was already open. There was no nest or activity. There are plenty of material for a nest on the ground so we think humans might be invading the space.
