Eastern bluebird taking flight, little bugger wouldn't stay still long enough for me to snap a photo.
Part of the menagerie that visits regularly.

I really should just bookmark that site, instead of hunting back through old posts and bumping it up.

Well, momma just stood up, fluffed up the straw a bit, then settled back down on her two eggs.
'Bout as exciting as it gets...for now.

Nice pictures BigHomer! I'm just seeing turkeys show up, on my game cameras. I don't know where they go the other 9 months of the year. I swear, they hibernate, in a cave, the rest of the year.

I check in on her a few times everyday.. Should be getting closer to the hatch time.. End of the month sometime I am guessing..

A well-focused Cardinal in flight is a very fine catch. Congrats.

They are very strange to me. 3 years ago there was a flock that come to my feeders just about every day, last year a lone hen would show now and again. So now they are coming every day again.
Beautiful shot of the Cardinal .

In those situations big homer, I tell myself that wings are the bird equivalent of free will.

Just took a peek in on her.
She looks a little bedraggled.
Hope she's okay. She keep nodding off, and I'm not sure what's on her beak.

This is so cool. Thanks, John.
The adults just switched nesting a few minutes ago.
How do you go back to earlier time to see the new chick?
This video is really nice.
