So I grabbed my bridge camera. I’m not a good photographer, but I try to capture my surroundings sometimes. I think I’ve witnessed bluebirds fledge maybe a dozen times in the six or seven years that I’ve been paying attention.
Well, out came fledging number one. He flew right over my head, and yes, I ducked! I didn’t want there to be an accident right out of the nest box! He flew over to the trees behind me, and then moved over to the lattice that’s under our deck. He stayed here for several minutes, but Mom and Dad were very worried.
Dad kept a close eye on things from a few feet away.
Now it was time for the second nestling to take a try.
If brother can do it, so can I!!!
Two more nestlings remained. It was time for FF to call it quits for the evening in her bird watching endeavor. Mr. FF had finished his day at the home office, and it was time to transition to the evening. A scrumptious dinner lay ahead of us.
I hope you all have gotten a glimpse of what a cool thing nature provides. We don’t always get to witness events first hand, but I hope these photos are good enough to give you a glimpse into that world which we inhabit with so many others.
