| The
BlueBirdCam Story
Update
July 10, 2008
One about to fledge bluebird chick probably
left the nest 1-2 weeks ago. Viewers noticed the nest box
camera had been pushed out of focus and aimed at the wall
of the nest box. A Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
biologist checked the nest box and general area for bluebird
presence and to readjust the bluebird cam. No bluebirds were
observed in a 2 - hour visit. One unhatched bluebird egg was
removed from the nest with a small amount of nesting material.
It was also noted that few swallows were in the area during
that particular visit which seemed unusual for the area and
previous visits. No signs of bluebird renesting have been
observed to date.

and other landowners in the South Puget Sound. Project participants
are involved in habitat restoration, bluebird box design,
construction, installation and monitoring - all necessary
steps to help recover the western blue bird and its habitat.
