Bluebird Love









Brent's parents are here for Laurel's graduation this week, and his dad, Harly brought his awesome camera. He sat in our backyard the other night for ever and was able to capture all these amazing photos of our resident bluebird couple feeding their young. We've waited for over three years to have actual babies in our bluebird box. There has been several nests every year, but something always got the eggs. This is the first year we actually got babies! And what makes this even more special that Harly got these pictures when he did; we noticed that the bluebirds were no where to be seen today so Brent checked the box. The babies are gone! They've flown the coop. We are going to miss seeing the Mr. and Mrs. feeding them every night. And we still have a whole container of mealy worms in our fridge! Hopefully, another pair or the same pair will nest again this season.
