Dody’s posting this morning was a timely reminder to check our nesting box. I’d seen a finished, but still empty, nest there on Tuesday, so I checked again after Dody’s post. Voila! Two eggs today! (The second is just barely visible to the right of the visible one, just inside the lip of the nest. With nesting and egg laying now underway, I’m posting this <https://www.nabluebirdsociety.org/PDF/NABSFactsheetMealworms.pdf> reminder of the importance of suspending feeding of dried mealworms bluebird parents now to spare the nestlings the sad fate we observed a few years ago before we learned that dried mealworms fed by parent birds can be fatal to the nestlings whose only source of hydration is the moisture within the bodies of live insect larvae they are given as food.
