Bluebirds are seven days old...


It finally stopped raining enough for me to take new pictures of the babies, now seven days old. They have a spattering of feathers and in the sunlight you can even see blue in them. They're still very tiny and mom and dad are feeding furiously. I have placed the meal worms in a dish by their favorite branch but they have ignored them so far. Last year I had a pair of bluebirds that wouldn't touch the meal worms, I wonder if this is the same pair, it's the same box that the pair last year nested in. Several years ago I had a pair of bluebirds that were crazy for the meal worms. Tomorrow I'll post a picture of them. Hope you are enjoying watching my babies grow up. They could be fledging in another week - they grow up so fast.
