~~~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:):)
Thanks so much for stopping by. If you missed my last post , "Lightening Up The Mantle" I hope you will go back and see it!!!! XO, Pinky

    Pinky, 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.

    Your pictures are wonderful, especially the babies!

    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!

    Pinky, 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 :)

    Love 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.

    I always have to take a peek at the birds. This was so much fun. I can't believe you were able to photograph them.

    they 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.

    Oh 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.

    Pinky, I am always so grateful when I hear the birds in the morning or see their bright colors dart in trees! Your story is amazing.. new home owners in one hour!! And the shots you took made me smile.. loved seeing the baby being fed on top of the feeder and the three little ones on the roof with their dad! Made me smile!!
