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!
