Tree Swallow Babies at the Townsend River Walk & ArboretumTree Swallow Babies at the Townsend River Walk & Arboretum

This week we had our first hatching of Tree Swallows that had used our newest Bluebird House as a nesting site.  It is hard to tell how many their nest is deep and covered with feathers.  At least three or four have hatched and one egg was remaining on Tuesday morning.  We will check later this week to see if we can get a count.  For additional information on the Tree Swallow read on at: Tree Swallows - All About Birds .  Ever wonder how many birds have been seen at the Townsend River Walk & Arboretum?  Right now a 100 have been spotted. You can see the full list at: EBird.org - TRWA Hotspot
