Mrs. Bluebird spent the day sitting on her eggs. The first day the might hatch is tomorrow, Sunday May 2. There's a big window, they could take until the 10th. Stay tuned. 

Bluebird Update May 1, 2021Tomorrow is the first day her eggs could hatch. Think she's ready to be done with sitting?

Our chickadees were out all morning. One has stopped in a few times this afternoon, venturing into the box just to check on things. 

Chickadee Update May 1, 2021Our chickadees continue to keep an eye on their nest. Still no eggs.

We're watching eastern bluebirds in West Newbury, Vermont, and black-capped chickadees in Piermont, New Hampshire, in specially built bird boxes with cameras so we can watch without disturbing the birds. 

It takes a few minutes for the video to process after I upload it. If the video doesn't play for you, please try again in a few minutes.
