Late‑Season Bluebird Update
Nesting
Activity
Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, Wrens, and Chickadees are actively nesting across Wisconsin.
Eggs, hatchlings, and fledglings are appearing statewide.
Monitoring
Tips
Check your boxes weekly to track nesting progress and prevent problems.
Remove old nests only after fledging and watch for second broods.
Predator Awareness
House Sparrows, raccoons, cats, and snakes are most active now.
Check your predator guards and keep boxes in safe, open locations.
Late‑Season Wrap‑Up
Most trails are winding down as fledging slows.
Finish monitoring, clean boxes, and submit your report form by Sept. 31.
