Sweet Success


In late March of this year, we put out a trail of bluebird houses starting on Copper Penny Lake and extending onto Copper Dollar Lake. The boxes have been monitored each and every week with detailed records being recorded that will be furnished to "Bluebirds Across Nebraska" at the end of the season. A number of boxes contained bluebird eggs earlier in the year but for some reason, all the eggs disappeared. Finally, there was a box containing five eggs that all hatched and although there were some difficulties, all the birds survived and fledged in a little less than three weeks. There is still time for bluebirds to nest again so hopefully I will have more good news in future posts.
