I was at Fort Hill looking for some butterflies and wildflowers when I saw these two birds come out from the woods onto the trail. It was a good thing I had my camera out and ready because I only got one shot and this is it.
There used to be many Bobwhites in the state but they have dwindled over the years. There are still at least two at Fort Hill!
Pretty cool, don’t you think?
These little baby Bluebirds can’t get much cuter! There are several families in our yard, two of which live in our bird houses. These baby Bluebirds spend quite a bit of time at our feeders waiting for mom to feed them. It certainly has been a very busy time of year!
It doesn’t get much cuter, do you think?
These two little baby Bluebirds were patiently waiting for their mom to bring them some food. Each time she flew up to them, they had their beaks wide open ready for that precious seed.
So, when this Starling flew up where they were perched, they instinctively opened their mouths for their food. I’m not sure who was more startled… the Bluebirds or the Starling! Look at his eye!!
The bluebirds have all fledged and sure are hungry. You can hear their little peeps all day long as the moms fly in for the seed and then fly back and feed their young. Yesterday the little babies were all on a branch in a nearby tree. Mom would fly down for a seed and then fly back up to the branch and feed each one.
Today they all showed up at our bird feeders. Mom would get a seed and then fly feed each one as they sat there patiently.
It doesn’t get much cuter than this! What do you think?
