Momma Bluebird Visited Today

While looking out the window earlier I noticed the female bluebird was perched on the deck hummingbird perch. I slowly went out the screen room door and was able to snap a photo. She flew to the bird bath. I will keep watching in hopes of seeing the baby bluebirds. Seeing the adults are a good sign. I am sure the babies are around. I should eventually see them at the bird bath as well. Most of the time they leave the yard after fledging. The parents are teaching them how to fly and find food. Many birds have left for now. But they will return to the trees and water soon.

I was just thinking about those baby bluebirds, and was going to ask you if you had seen them yet. But I guess you answered the question in your post. I hope those babies show up soon.

@CarolDM Definitely let us know if you end up seeing those babies. Will you be able to tell them apart from the adult bluebirds, or will they have grown so fast now that they'll look like adults?

@moffittjc You know I will. They are off learning to fly I suppose. Yes, they will have spots until they are a few months old. I can spot white without the binoculars.

Yes and it is not over. I hope to see all of these birds in the pool later. I do get memories in my photos app on my computer. Great idea when I get a few minutes.
