Box A - The beginnings of a nest were found today.  Students are excited to see that a bird has finally discovered this box.  Box B on the Sorority grounds remains empty.

Box 1 and Box 2 remain empty.  The students have begun to ask thoughtful questions about why this may be.  They are determined to learn why the boxes on the front side of the school seem to be more attractive to birds then the boxes at the side and back of the building.

Box 3 has a nest that measures 6 inches with four new baby birds today.  The students wanted to stay and watch forever but a parent was nearby so we didn't stay so it could get back to the babies.
