It's been some time now, but I believe all five of the baby bluebirds are back... They are teenagers now, large with spots awaiting their adult feathers... They come for worms and cranberries when I whistle. The same whistle before I fed them as they were growing. They seem to let me get within about 3 feet, whereas, others fly away. Also, they aren't afraid of the barking dogs as they heard the dogs barking from the time they hatched. There are five that stay together. They've probably always been around, I just haven't kept up with a regular feeding schedule as they needed to learn to feed on their own. It's rewarding to know all five were able to survive and are back visiting. They are so beautiful. :) I hope to have a picture of them before too long. My Canon camera is broken and have to take it to be repaired.
Scroll Down to Saturday, May 12, 2012's post below for their growing journey....
