More Baby Birds
I went around today to put hinges on top of all of the birdhouses. I was having to unscrew the tops every time with a screwdriver, which was a pain, if nothing else. In the process, I discovered another clutch of baby birds. I think that the new nest is a clutch of Black-capped Chickadees. I'll get some shots tomorrow so that I can tell for sure. In any event, there are 7 baby birds and 2 eggs in the nest. Apparently, this is not uncommon, as the "average clutch size is 6-8 eggs but can be as many as 13 eggs".
So, for the record, we currently have the following:
4 baby mountain bluebirds and 1 egg
5 baby mountain chickadees
7 baby black-capped chickadees and 2 eggs
My neighbor bud has the following:
5 baby western bluebirds
