Bluebird Task: - Paragraph 1- All about the West Lee Bluebird Trail - Paragraph 2- All about G1  -  Paragraph 3- All about G7  -  Paragraph 4- Conclusion ( total eggs and babies)  __ West Lee Bluebird Trail __ By: Abigail Johnson West Lee Middle School has a trail, or collection, of bluebird boxes/houses, in which Mrs. McFadden’s sixth-grade students watched and examine during the spring. There are ten bluebird boxes around West Lee labeled G1-G10, and this is the third year Mrs. McFadden has done this project. All the sixth graders have an amazing time watching the nest build up, the eggs turning into babies, and the little wet babies growing into big dry birds. One of the houses is G1, located on the hill at the driveway for J.R. Ingram, has had a bluebird nest and babies in it. The first two or three times the box was empty, but after a couple of weeks we start seeing a nest. Near the end of April we start seeing a nest with four bluebird eggs (C-Notes 4/21). When we went out in May we saw a spectacular thing three or four little baby bluebirds in the G1 nest, we did not get to look at them for long because the parents were flying near the box, so we left (C-Notes 5/12/09). G1 has a spreadsheet at the bottom of the page. Another bluebird box is G7, which is located at the Winterlocken pickup and the sixth grade hallways, has had a bluebird nest, babies, and eggs. The first time we saw G7, last years bluebird nest was in the box, so we cleaned out the house for a new bluebird to move in (C-Notes 3/5/09). At the beginning of April a small bluebird nest started to form. In late April we saw two little bluebird eggs and three tiny and wet bluebird babies, they were wriggling all around and one of them got on top of the eggs. G7 has a picture and spreadsheet at the bottom of this page. The bluebird project has been a lot of fun and we saw many adorable things all through out the spring. The total number of bluebird and chickadee babies and eggs was about 15 babies and 26 eggs. Mrs. McFadden’s sixth grade class has had tons of fun working on the bluebird project.
