Hungry Hatchlings!

Good news - the birdie eggs did NOT get cooked in the extreme heat. Four of the five eggs have hatched to reveal four hungry and active babies. Not sure if the 5th egg will hatch, but it's good news for the Bluebirds anyway. Aren't they cute?!

Updates on the Birdies

We've got lots of birdie goings-on in the yard! Take a look!

Here's the 5 brand new Eastern Bluebird eggs. The same pair is already raising this second family...

... and eating all the mealworms we give to them!

Another box has got a family started... not sure exactly what this is, though...

...and another Tree Swallow family is just about ready to fledge! Aren't they cute?

That's all on the birdies for now. Stay tuned!
