I managed to get over to the Creek and clean out the last of the boxes as well as make my way over to the Forgotten Land and get that last box done as well.
I was disappointed to find 5 eggs not hatched at the Creek and well as one decayed teeny tree swallow baby in another box.
One egg in a box, which actually I thought was not being used. Angie named this box Griffindor House.
Four eggs left in another box, which I believe Angie called Slytherin House.
Then over at the Forgotten Land, I found two unhatched eggs in that box. Who knows why these things happen? I'm just happy that everyone else made it out.
So, let's see where we are at now... 23 fledged from 5 nests in the Forgotten Land. As for the Creek, confirming a 7th nest and up to 37 eggs, minus 6 eggs that did not hatch and 2 dead young, we've got 29 fledged. Lambton was 10 fledged from the 2 nests.
14 nests and 62 fledged so far.
I have to try and tackle Area One at some point. It's becoming an increasingly difficult thing to do up there because the meadow is not maintained at all, the growth is overwhelming and hard to walk through, then add in some wild parsnip and the probability of ticks. I've brought up again about bringing the boxes closer to the walking trails. I hope this gets done before the 2022 season or I may abandon Area One for my own safety. I mean, I would be willing to ensure the boxes are good to go come the spring but as for egg counting and so on, I won't worry about any longer.
Lastly, Angie informed me that Blogger apparently cut out the option to have the latest blogs emailed to people. Why would they do that? Not that I have many followers but anyone relying upon the email notifications, it is gone now.
I will be back sooner or later with an Area One tally. I need to finish it for this season, my mind won't let me rest otherwise.
