Backyard bird/wildlife enthusiast, here. Saw this thread earlier, but was busy out in the yard planting in between rain showers. We just had a brood of baby Eastern Bluebirds fledge a few days ago. This is our third year of successfully watching the Bluebirds choose a nest box (we have 4 to choose from), build a nest, lay the eggs, and then watch them hatch, parents feed the babies, and then the nestlings fledge. Usually we get two broods per year in the same box (I clean them after the first brood fledges.)
This first photo is mama bringing a delicious bug to feed her babies.
This is one of the more ambitious babies taking a good look at the world before deciding to retreat back into the nest box.
I missed the actual fledging event for the 5 babies, but I was able to locate one of them in one of my gardens, thanks to Mama and Daddy inadvertently alerting me to the fledgling’s whereabouts.
