This season brought an unparalleled level of documented nesting success on the home property. The following was observed.

Wild Turkey -- a hen with six polts.
Eastern Phoebe -- a first fledging of two with another in process
Tree Swallow -- one fledging of two
Eastern Blue Bird -- a first fledging of three in June with another now in process
American Robin -- two fledged
Chipping Sparrow -- two successful fledgings of two youngsters.Song Sparrow -- one fledging of two

Further, there has been present a small group of Tufted Titmice and another of White-breasted Nuthatches that I presume to be families that are the product of this season's nesting, but that did not occur close enough to the house to track and confirm.
