By now we've posted photos of over 60 baby Bluebirds here... and I know these shots will seem familiar to some of you. But these are the fledglings of this season's 4th nesting, and we are just delighted to report that all 5 of them are doing well.

These are excellent! I haven't had the pleasure of seeing any of your other bluebird pictures. I love the second to last one with the open beak.

Nice array of poses. Pretty cool that you've witnessed 4 generations.

Very nice set of rubberlips Kenn. I hope mom and pop are doing well. They have to be the most famous bluebird pair in the world. :)

So cute! You've really had a bumper crop this year. Unfortunately, my 3rd nest was predated (by a raccoon I think.) I will definitely be taking more protective steps next year!

Thanks to all for your comments.

We love all our birds here and love to share them... but our Bluebirds are indeed special to us.

We really appreciate your encouragement,

Kenn

Always love shots of your "babies" Kenn... beautiful little birds and images as usual... however, I miss your "tray full of blues" shots :) Have a great fall my friend.

Wow, and such cute birds at this age. When I think of Bluebirds I think of you, fantastic work as always Kenn. I'm glad to hear the family is doing well.
