Bluebird Family Update - 2012

Hi all,

All the signs are pointing to an early Spring here, and once again we're filled with anticipation for another nesting season about to begin. Ben started feeding Missy again about a week ago, and they've been on and in the nestbox more and more with each passing day. We still have a lot of the fledges from last year, but their parents are chasing them off now with increasing determination, and so we're not sure how much longer any of them will be here. As always we're trying to capture as many photos of the kids as we can before they're gone.

Here then, are a few shots of the family as we're seeing them today...

Missy:

And some of the kids:

Kenn,
beautiful pictures as always.
what kind of distance are you working with here?
I met a guy at the wetlands today that has an SX30 and really wants a DSLR.
I told him that I have seen wonderful pictures with the SX series from you and he didnt NEED to "upgrade".

fantastic set of images Kenn!

Exquisite shots, Kenn,
