As of April 28, what we have most of are nests, more than half are empty. Four nests have Bluebirds: three of them have four hatchlings each but the last one had not hatched as of yesterday. Of those, three are along the farm fence, one up among the cottages.
There are three nests with white eggs, i.e. Tree Swallows. To judge by the TS acrobatics, more must be about to follow.
In one nest Louise Hasselman and I found two eggs that were light gray with brownish speckles. The speckles were not individual dots but more like a loose netting over the whole egg. Are they chickadees or titmice? We hope they are not house sparrows.
