Year-End Bluebird Nesting Report
Marilyn and Michael, two volunteers with the Prescott Western Bluebird Recovery Project, just completed their Year-End Bluebird Nesting Report for the boxes we have at the winery and in our vineyard, and here's a quick summary:
- There were 10 Western Bluebird clutches; six were first clutches and four were second clutches.
- 33 bluebirds fledged (fledged: left the nest successfully on its own). This is a positive outcome!
- There were also 6 Violet Green Swallow clutches. (Marilyn and Michael estimate approximately 17 swallows fledged successfully).
- A House Wren and a Black Capped Chickadee built nests in the boxes but they didn't lay eggs in them.
This was a great season for bluebirds at Sokol Blosser!
