Ravens in the Sanctuary

 

Seasonal Bird Lists

Summer 2009

 

 

WA Dept of Fish & Wildlife maintains a bluebird nestbox with a videocamera inside, on the Wolf Haven prairie. The pair of Western Bluebirds pictured below nested in it this spring; five chicks hatched on May 4 and all five fledged from the box on May 26.

A second nesting with six more eggs (see image below, from live camera) was also successful and on July 10, six more bluebird chicks were born!

The Red-tailed Hawks soar over the prairie and frequently perch at the top of a large snag (right), which functions as a great lookout.
