New members at the course

I had the bird box guy out today and we were checking boxes and came across something new. It was first noticed when we were approaching one of the nest boxes that I had identified earlier as having Bluebird eggs, a high pitched noise of some sort. At first we thought it was a snake inside the box eating the bluebird, but then all of the sudden the female bluebird came shooting out. Still hearing the shrill of a sound and now being even more curious, I had to find out. After popping open the access hatch on the side of the box it was obvious where the notice was coming from...BABY BLUEBIRDS!

We have a couple of boxes on the course with baby bluebirds in them. In the picture below you can see a picture of our newest members. Although they're not much to look at right now, it's pretty awesome to know they are there.
