My front yard Bluebirds are busy feeding their growing chicks in box #2 and I'm expecting them to leave the nest in the next couple of days. No signs yet of them popping up at the hole to check out the world beyond the box, but I'm not sure exactly when they hatched. They usually leave the nest by day 17 and I'm thinking that must be quite close.
Bluebird Box #1
The fledglings have now been out of the box for 1 month and Lady Blue has just started to incubate 5 new little bluebird eggs. The photos below were taken yesterday - two of the fledglings snuggling on top of the box, and probably remembering how close they used to be in the box ......so endearing :)

You can't help but be captivated by these little birds ......
