About to Escape

Lake Frederick, Virginiak

Early June, had six fledge from our single bluebird box. These two (go back 'previous') like our backyard and return often. After I cleaned out the box, Mom & Dad immediately constructed a 2nd nest with five eggs. Been watching
their development from our open back porch. For unknown reasons, Mom & Pop keep chasing any of the 1st fledglings off. Was of the belief that they were suppose to 'help' with follow-on broods(?)
Anyway, 2nd batch fledglings are now venturing out of the box - last night and this morning, had two 'Escapees'. This is one of the 2nd brood of five.
