Today was an exciting day at KES! Our eggs have hatched and we now have babies in one of the houses! They are tiny! The mother bird is extremely protective of her babies, and has been somewhat aggressive! Now we will wait and watch to see when they hatchlings fledge the nest!

| Baby chickadees have arrived! |
More exciting news: our bluebird nest now contains 5 beautiful eggs! We know that bluebirds will lay 1 egg a day, and we noticed the first egg on Wednesday. On Friday there were 3 eggs, and this afternoon there were 5. So, we'll know if she's finished laying eggs if there are still 5 eggs tomorrow when we check. Then it should be about 2 weeks before they hatch! Who knew bird watching could be so fun!
