Here's a couple photos of our second brood of Bluebirds that just hatched this week. Hope you enjoy and may the Lord bless & keep you.

Oh, my! Aren't they strange looking. Who would imagine the beautiful adult birds that would come from that!
My goodness are they ever precious! Keep us updated with their progress.
In the first photo. only two had hatched. All of them had hatched the next day when I took the second photo. They seem fragile now. But as long as mom is kept save and no preditors get into the box, they'll be fine. The worse enemy is the stray cats. I have to run them off. The box is made where the Cats can't get to it. The Cats would have to be there the exact moment when they fledged. Hopefully, that won't happen.
Have a blessed day.

I think you need a good slingshot. That is quiet...won't scare the birds and keep the cats away as you get proficient with it!
So far we haven't had any problems. The Mocking birds spot them and take out a few of the hairs on their bodies. It's funny to watch. The cats seem to prefer the Squirrels and we have plenty. The Canon Water Gun is really better. They don't like to get wet. But for the most part Mom And dad will protect them. And of Course the Heavenly Father knows if even one of them falls to the ground. What amazing Love!
Have a blessed day
