FishkaFishka Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 How many baby bluebirds do you see in this photo? The babies have fledged now, but I’m a little stuck. At first, I thought there were three. The baby on the far right is obvious. And I thought the other visible head belonged to a body that was under the far right baby, and the the head of the far left body was underneath the other. But now I see two babies when I look at the photo. The nest contained a clutch of five. Two eggs didn’t hatch, I got rid of them after fledging. And as you can see, there are only two older babies in the second and third photos. So what happened to the other egg/chick? My theory is that the baby hatched, but died, and the parents got rid of it. In any case, I’m not quite sure what to report to NestWatch.

The Bird Nuts Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Looks like two in each photo to me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
