**__Bluebird Essay__**

(A helped me figure out how to put the actual wordle picture on =D) media type="custom" key="3926275"

Our bluebird trails constantly presented growth this year. My class and I monitored ten bluebird boxes on our school campus. The first day we went on our ‘bird walk’ was the 26th of February to observe boxes one, two, three, four, and ten. All of them were empty, but we did see one bluebird, which gave me hope that there could actually be nests starting the next time we came around. On the 5th of March we went on our way to look at boxes five, six, seven, eight, and nine. They were all, like the others, empty. The most that we found was debris in box seven. We went to visit bluebird boxes one, two, three, four, and six on March 10th. All the bluebird boxes were vacant, except for bluebird box three, which had what looked like moss in it. The next visit was to the same boxes eight days later. They all had had no progress, save box three, whom now housed a chickadee nest. A couple of days later we went to check on the remaining boxes to find that they were all empty. In the 23rd we observed the identical boxes, which were showing not even the slightest bit of progress, but box eight did, containing a blade of grass. The next day, boxes one and four did not have anything in them. Three showed no advancements, and there was a new nest in box two. In the month of April, things began to grow at a faster speed. On the 3rd, every box had a nest or a beginning of a nest, except for ten. The 21st brought us the knowledge that boxes one, two, and three had baby bluebirds or bluebird eggs. Box six had moss, which was a sign of a chickadee nest, and bluebird box four still remained empty, which was to be its fate. The last few times my class saw the boxes, two to three boxes had been stuffed, possibly by an intruder bird, who wanted to prevent a nest from being built there. It could have also been a human. But since it was so late in the year, we were sure that the babies had learned to fly and used that to flee before the intruder got there.
