More BLURRED Bluebird pictures.  By now, you know I’m obsessed with my Bluebirds!!  The other day I placed a step-ladder next to the Bluebird house, climbed the ladder, and cautiously opened the door.  I took that picture with my faithful old Samsung camera.  Well, all the pictures are with the faithful Samsung but the last picture is the image from the Hawk Eye Cam.  I had just delivered mealworms to the feeder (picture two) and Papa Blue had just delivered mealworms to the baby in the nest (picture three).  From the amount of feathers, I speculate it won’t be long until it leaves the nest.

I tentatively planned to take my T@B travel trailer out for the weekend.  I thought I wanted to enjoy gospel singing at “Singing on the Mountain” near Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina.  **BUT** I don’t want to be away when the baby/babies fledge.  From the books I’ve read and the information gleaned from the Internet, I know that Mama Bluebird starts a new nest immediately after the babies “fly the nest.”  The proprietor (me) needs to immediately empty and clean the bird house.  From experience (last summer) I know Mama started a nest in another bird house.  I passionately desire another Bluebird family this season–where I can observe them!! With a little bit of luck I should be able to get the camera focused so I have clear images of the life cycle in the nest.  (Would you agree that abandoning a relaxing weekend trip to monitor a bird house is bizarre?  I can’t help it; I love my Bluebirds!!)
