Today really tested my birdwatching patience.  It's been raining all day.  Two different times, I sat under a covered porch with my phone constantly monitoring a different birdhouse.  Finally, the Eastern Bluebird mama must've decided feeding her babies was more important than a lot of rain.  She sure is beautiful too.😃❤️

Wonderful photos.  Lucky you to be able to see the babies, when they fledge.

Actually that's a male bluebird, the females don't have a lot of blue in their feathers., here's a photo of a female bluebird.

They're so fun to watch!

Thank you for letting me know.  It's great to learn the males actually help in getting the food.😃❤️

The Dads also remove the 'poop sacks' from the nest!

If you see that male, see if he's carrying a tiny white balloon in his beak!
