Baby Bluebirds in Backyard House

Yes! Two of three baby bluebirds were born today in the bluebird house in Dustin's garden. Such excitement. The other baby should hatch later today or tomorrow. I have talked many times about these bluebirds. I have witnessed the entire process of bluebirds, eggs, and babies over the the past ten years in the backyard house. The last two years there have been no bluebirds, due to all of the other birds in the yard. They all need their space and would chase away the bluebirds. Finally, after all the others birds are done with their nests, the bluebirds were able to have a successful brood. So far so good. One more to go. Photo ©CarolDM Did I say how excited I was!

@CarolDM Some bluebirds are trying to build a nest in my son's birdhouse. I hope they are successful.

I had my phone and placed it over the birds. It was kind of dark in the house. This seems to be the easiest way to photograph these tiny babies. Excited!!!!

@kobesbuddy You are so right, it does. And that has been my intention since day one of Dustin's garden. It keeps giving happiness, year after year.

@LowRiderX There are still predators but safer here than in the wild. They were sleeping just now when I peeked inside.

Can I say how ugly they are? Surely they won't grow to be beautiful bluebirds? (Just teasing)

Yes, I don’t think so of course. They are such miracles I only see beauty. And every day they will change and grow. These are my Bluebirds of happiness and the reason I started Dustin’s garden. He plays a hand in bringing me happiness. I believe.
