My son and I looked in and they had 5 eggs.

Wow, five little bluebird babies! Those parents are going to be kept very busy! LOL

My Sweet Baby Jay is still hanging out in the lilac bush. He spends most days either there or in one of the Oleanders. He can fly short distances, I saw him at the top of the pear tree the other day, but his parents don't let him get far away. I also saw him up on top of the neighbor's roof and one of the parents spotted him and chased him back into the lilac. They want him to stay under cover. They are still bringing him his food, even though he is almost as big as they are. Scrub Jays stay dependent upon their parents longer than many birds, I think.

I feel a bit bad for SBJ. He has no siblings to follow around. They learn from each other as much as from their parents, so he may be lagging behind other jays of his age.

I don't remember if I posted this or not. This is the most recent photo of Sweet Baby Jay taken last Thursday, I think. He is sitting in the lilac bush waiting for mom to bring lunch. He is almost as big as his parents, but very juvenile in his behavior and still not yet able to forage for food.

Lori, there’s lots of birds with their Mama’s that look bigger than Mama in the spring. Especially robins. The babies look so big and are just following Mama squawking loudly with that mouth wide open. Isn’t it wonderful we have all this entertainment straight from the Heavens, free of charge! What a glorious world.

I read on one of your posts today about the disasters in the world right now. It truly troubles me when I see those people suffering so and their government won’t let our Medical services in to save lives. Its unbearable to watch. We must all remember these unfortunate ones in “our prayers” for sure.
