1:00 AM – Retro-Sunday! This post is from Friday, 4.7.2017, two years ago.

7:32 AM – First thing this morning we have fledgling bluebirds at the platform feeder. Following are several videos. In the first, we see Mrs. Bluebird feeding one a mealworm, while one of the chicks makes a stab at feeding himself.

Here’s one landing in the feeder. They’re still a little awkward.

This little one is still working on his hopping skills:

Fledglings in the feeder, good shot of one of them getting fed by mama Bluebird.

Two fledglings are visited briefly by a goldfinch.

Mrs. Bluebird feeding the fledglings, and the new birds drinking:

The fledglings don’t look like they’re going anywhere, so we should have more videos later today, or, more likely, tomorrow morning. We don’t want to overdose on bluebird cuteness this morning.

1:35 AM – From yesterday’s activity, here’s something you don’t see everyday. The strong wind gives Mrs. Cardinal an unexpected ‘punk’ style crest.
