Bluebird Babies

Five baby bluebirds fledged the day I took these pictures. I was so glad I was able to photograph it all. I expected them to leave the box and maybe fly a few feet; instead they flew out of the yard, over the neighbor’s house and were on their way! We have recently seen them all back in the yard at various times.

Female coaxing them out

Thinking about it….

A little more coaxing from Mom

Almost….

And off she flew…..
