Day one - Four Bouncing Baby Bluebirds!!! Hooray!!! Poor little naked babies - but I had to be the nosy neighbor and snap a few shots! 5/19/09
Two days old - growing already!!! 5/20/09
So sweet - little fuzzy heads!
Day Four - getting little feathers on the wings already. WOW! They seriously grow right before your eyes! 5/22/09
Proud Daddy - Mr. Blue... he is comfortable enough around me now that I snapped these just TWO FEET from him... He comes to my whistle now and doesn't seem to mind me watching. Now the sound of the flash on the other hand is a little frightening.
One Week Old!!! We are starting to look like real birds now! I'm quite anxious to see how many males and females we got! Won't know till almost late summer I am sure. 5/26/09
"I'm so glad when Daddy comes home..." Mr. Blue is the best little provider for his family. He will carry as many worms in his mouth as possible - the record is 6 meal worms! What a sight! Ms. Lucy -Mrs. Blue is such a shy bird and very, very protective of her babies. She dive bombs our heads anytime we get close to the box and she will not pose for a picture as of yet. At least not a close enough one to post! Babies are growing like weeds now and I am sure will be out of the box in a week. We'll have to stop taking pictures of the babies as we don't want them to fall from the nesting box so now we just watch from a distance. I do have a clear glass side to the box, but it is really, really dirty now and hard to see through - lots of bird poop!!! We'll post more when they ALL start coming to the porch for worms.
