Eastern Bluebirds building a nest in our backyard Spring 2008 - April

After a few weeks we noticed both parents were bring a ton of insects inside the birdhouse

Some type of berry

Our first view of the babies

Feeding the babies - look at that big mouth!

On May 26th (Memorial Day) we were lucky enough to watch the babies fledge. For a couple of hours the parents were flying all around the bird house and hovering in front of it.  They were loudly chattering the whole time.

Finally the babies started flying out. I was only able to get this one picture of the babies;  it all happened so fast and I almost forgot to take the picture!

Notice the baby's head sticking out of the nest... he's almost ready...
