Here are several shots from a few days ago of our resident Bluebirds. While waiting for the last baby to fledge, the little one kept falling asleep. Not long after these shots, he finally fledged. They're not the greatest shots. In the first shot the WB is off. Thanks for looking.

Mama trying to lure the baby out.

I'm not coming out... I don't care how many mealworms you have!

I'm getting tired...

I think I'll take a nap.

ZZZZZZzzzzzzz...

The proud Papa looking on.

Thanks Dave, He did bail but I missed it. I was fiddling with the camera when he flew. :(

Thanks Steve, The babies always have that grumpy look on their face but they grow out of it. :)

Thanks a lot Jim, I do wish he was out a little further on the limb so the leaves wouldn't clutter the shot but you take what you can get.
