The first egg hatched in the early morning hours today. Two more hatched about 10:30am. The fourth egg hatched about 4:00pm.

Update March 27, 2024
Since the bluebird has been sitting on the nest fairly consistently for the past 2 days, the incubation period has begun. The incubation period for the Eastern Bluebirds is 12 to 14 days. That means that the eggs should hatch sometime between April 6th and 8th.
