~~~Mama, and Papa and BABY Bluebirds!!!~~~
Hi everyone, just a short post to share with you the new additions to our home:):) Joe built a bluebird box and within ONE HOUR we had bluebirds building a nest!!!! Then we saw (Joe opened the box) that there were 4 eggs in there!!!! We were so excited to have BABIES!!!! Today Mama and Papa were feeding the babies!!!. We have a bluebird feeder right outside of the dining room window so we can watch them feed. Today we got a BONUS and saw then feeding the babies. here you go:This first picture is one of the babies looking on the ground for some food.
Checking under a bush...
Mama and one of the babies. The babies still have some dots on them:) See th food in her mouth? We have mealworms in the feeder.
Feeding her little one!
I am betting this is a male baby, because of the brighter coloring.
SO cute!!!!
Here is Papa feeding one of them. Now they need to learn to get in the feeder themselves:)
3 of the babies, along with Papa, waiting on the porch roof for some goodies:)
Male baby looking up at his siblings:)
Papa and baby.
So sweet. I know this is where we are supposed to be. This is a fun place to live:):)

That's so awesome Pinky! I enjoyed the photos!
ReplyDeletePinky, thank you so much for posting these pictures! I just love bluebirds. We have had them in the past, but over the past few years the finches have taken over our bluebird house. I was removing their eggs daily and I just didn't have the heart to continue doing that.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are wonderful, especially the babies!
Pinky,
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the baby bluebirds in your yard, on the roof and at the feeders!!!
Amazing that you were able to get these wonderful nature photos!!!
Thanks for sharing "the joys of Spring" with us!!!
Fondly,
Pat
How precious!! You really have a great view of them from inside your house. That's so neat that they started nesting so soon after you set up everything. I love looking at birds and bluebirds are one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!! You got some really good pics of that family. How fun to watch that on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteThose are great pictures of mama & papa bluebirds and their precious little babies! Papa is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeletePinky, I LOVE your wonderful shots of the adults with their babies, oh so cute! We have bluebirds that nest every year in our house, then the juveniles help raise the next brood, so maybe you'll have another set! I've never been able to capture a photo of them! Thanks for sharing these :)
ReplyDeleteLove bluebirds! I am surprised they would build in your subdivision...is there a open field/area across from you? We have them in our subdivision also...if someone puts up a box near a retention area that is open...they get them so we plan on it when we return. We have just one of our boxs here with eggs in it...Dale showed it to the buyers! On a sidenote...can you believe how expensive mealworms are?! Geez.

ReplyDeleteI always have to take a peek at the birds. This was so much fun. I can't believe you were able to photograph them.
ReplyDeletethey are adorable and you have some great shots of them. I've never seen the babies before, and didn't know you could have a "mealworm" feeder.
ReplyDeleteBirds completely oog me out. I know I'm strange, can't help it but I will say the blue on these is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOooh, your babies and mama and daddy Bluebird are just precious!... I love all of Nature and your photos are stunning... how exciting it is for you to be able to observe them so closely... thanks for sharing, xoxo Julie Marie (Popped over from Debra's party at Common Ground!)...
ReplyDeleteSo cute Pinky!!...I have three porches full of birds nests!..The babies on the front porch just left the nest, while the others are still nesting and occupying my ferns!...The blue birds are beautiful...they obviously love your bird feeder!...You captured some great photos of them!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos! You must have a lot of patience to capture so many great shots.
ReplyDeleteDebra
You certainly got some great shots! I am a big bird enthusiast and thrilled to see all these wonderful pictures. I am a new Follower from the What's It Wednesday Blog Hop. Enjoy the rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, they're real cute. I like the one where it looks like they're having a conversation in the yard. It made me laugh.
