Just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful video recapping the 2019 season! Sweet, funny, and dramatic! Our two hatchlings were about a day older than the ones in your video, yet fledged on day 31. We offered shade to the one occupied gourd and somehow they survived 112 heat index the four days before fledging.

Grateful for the SY pair we hosted, hopeful again for next year :)

Michelle - congrats on your successful fledges!
Just curious - what kind of housing are you using?

Thank you Matt! We offer a Trio house with modified apartments and 3 floors, and on a separate pole we offer 4 gourds. We've had success in both the house and the gourds, but not in the same season. We're encouraged for next year as we also had a lot of regular visitors, more so than usual.

That photo of the baby Martins looking up at the baby Bluebird is too cute!
