The much-loved Eastern Bluebirds are back live streaming for 2025 from Tennessee, USA. Our cameras are following the journey of this pair as they begin their first nesting journey in this box.
The female started building her nest on March 11th, and she laid her first egg on April 6th. We are now waiting patiently while she incubates her clutch of five eggs.
During the incubation period, the female will sit on the eggs for 24 hours a day, keeping them warm and safe from predators. The typical incubation period is between 12 and 14 days.
The in-nest survival rate is usually very high for this species, and we expect all five chicks should make it depending on food availability. But all the signs so far are looking promising.
We expect the first egg to hatch around April 23, so keep watching so you don’t miss any of the action.
They will eat bugs and mealworms, and the male will be close by to the nest, keeping guard and searching for food to give to the female, who will then feed the chicks.
