Build it and they will come!

I put up a Bluebird house and was just as pleased to get Chickadees! Here is a picture of the babies. I think they are pretty close to fledging. The nest check was a spur of the moment decision when I saw the mother leave and I had a camera with me. I did some research later and read that nest checks for Chickadees should stop at 11 days old to prevent premature fledging. I'm not sure how old these guys are, but I think they are pretty close to the 11 day mark. Luckily the babies stayed in place and I saw the mother feeding them afterwards. I'm hoping to have baby chickadees visiting my feeders soon!

Bluebirds 'R Us

Pam got a shot of these bluebirds in Mary and Susan's yard. They have quite an appetite for mealworms!


Meanwhile Amalia Agramonte had her very first nesting bluebirds this spring. Congrats!
