The baby Bluebirds are finall hatching! This photo is not so good because I wanted to be quick and I'm not going to disturb them going back to get another.
But we have a bonus today! We discovered a family of Carolina Wrens in the top of the propane tank. I love the wrens. They are tiny but they can sing louder than any other bird out there. They are my alarm clock in the morning.
I'm really looking forward to the weekend. Of course there's the holiday on Friday but I am also taking Monday and Tuesday off for a 5-day weekend. I am hopeful that I did not ruin it when I pulled a muscle in my back today. I'm spending tonight on ice and my back massage.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Hows your back!

Such sweet wee bird pictures! We have hawks around here so the other little birds don't tend to nest. There was a robin in our tree out front but she nested too high for us to be able to peek.
Look after your back! I know what it's like and it HURTS. Take care of you.

Oh, I do hope your bad back won't spoil the weekend for you. I love this time of year when you show your birds.

I've been meaning to ask you how you're getting these pictures. I always thought if you got too close to a nest (or touched it) the mother wouldn't come back, yada yada. Maybe that was an old wives tale my mother told me when I was a kid LOL

I've started to get a twitter authentication request when I view your site. Is this normal?

I hope you'll be OK for this long weekend!
Those birds are cute.

Holiday on Friday? Really? Why doesn't my boss know about that?
Love watching your birds grow.

Every year your posts about the bird's make my heart sing! I can't find our nest, although we seem to have added a lot more varieties of birds at the feeders!
