Joyful Reflections
 
 
This is the birdhouse. It is in our backyard.
I took this picture the first day I noticed the babies in the nest. They are growing FAST.
Daddy Bluebird keeps a close watch on the nest--from above! He tells me to GET AWAY!
George’s camera zoomed in on Papa Bluebird --as he watched us from a tree above the nest.
This is Papa---on his perch, way up in that tree.
Another close-up of this gorgeous male Bluebird
“Peak-a-boo!” One of the babies is looking out wondering who in the world I am!!!!
Both babies are starving.. “Feed Me,” they cry!!!!
One of the babies is dominant over the other one--and keeps pushing it back down in the nest!!!
Mama Bluebird has a delicious cricket for the babies dinner. YUM!!
“Here I am,” Mama says--as she feeds her babies.
Another cute picture of both babies---peeking out, looking for Mama or Daddy
Daddy now comes to feed the babies.
The babies say THANKS for dinner---but they want MORE!!
Mama (who is not nearly as pretty a color as Daddy) comes back to check on her babies.
Aren’t they just precious???? I can’t quit watching them.
Wonder how many more days they will stay in this nest??? They may be ready to FLY soon.
Mama Bluebird is pretty--just not as pretty as Papa.
Both baby birds are still staring out in that great big world. I hope I see them take their first flight!!!
One more picture of a very proud father; He (and Mama) take good care of their young.
 
The Bluebirds love the birdhouse in our yard.  Right now,  there’s a nest with  at least two precious babies.  Enjoy our pictures of this gorgeous little family!
