Mrs. Bluebird continues to incubate her eggs. They should hatch sometime between May 1 and May 9.

This video shows Mrs. Bluebird sitting patiently for a bit, then turning the eggs before heading out for a snack. Birds turn their eggs to prevent the embryo from adhering to the side of the egg and to help distribute nutrients in the egg.

We’re watching eastern bluebirds inside a nesting box with a camera built in to allow us to watch without disturbing the birds.
