There are two nestlings and two unhatched eggs in this nest. The young hatched on May 20, 2006.

I noticed that there haven't been any activity since mid-April, is the camera offline?

I currently have a camera inside one of my boxes with an active bluebird nest. The nestlings are 10 days old and very loud! This refreshing page is cool but doesnt come close to watching them live. Would it be possible to view this nest live like the barn owls?

There appears to be some grass in the box. Could this be the start of a bluebird nest?

I was hoping to see them leave, but kept getting an error (probably they were bumping the camera!) Anyway, when I finally got a new picture, the nest was pretty empty.

From about 11:30 to 12:30 CST, I recorded from the outside of the box, hoping to catch fledging. The adults fed 8 times in that hour of tape.

When the adults are in this psition, they've entered through a slot in the side. When I added the camera box to the top of the nest box, I left a ventilation slot because it can get so hot here in Texas. Apparently, it's just big enough for the adults to squeeze in,so they use it as a side door. Of course, when the nestlings hatched during a cold spell I was worried about all that ventilation. Mama stayed in with the young full time to keep them warm though.

I guess the baby landed on top of one of the other ones and hid it from view for a little bit.
