We’re taking a brief detour from the stunning wildlife of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge to return to the captivating story unfolding right in my own backyard – the Eastern bluebird saga! You might remember the last update, aptly titled “Eastern Bluebird Comeback! Male Feeds New Mate Incubating Eggs“.
Welcome Hatchlings!
While I was away exploring the wonders of the refuge last week, some exciting developments occurred in my backyard. The much-anticipated arrival of the bluebird chicks has finally taken place!
Double Duty for Dedicated Parents
Both parents are now working tirelessly to keep their hungry brood well-fed. The photos I captured showcase this dedication in action – the parents diligently bringing food to the nest box. While I can’t determine the exact number of chicks just yet, I’m sure their little heads will be popping out soon enough for an official count!
The Anticipation Builds
Watching these devoted parents nurture their young is a truly heartwarming experience. Seeing the chicks emerge from the nest box will be another milestone in this captivating story.
Stay tuned for further updates!
I’ll be keeping a close eye on the bluebird family and share their progress as the chicks grow and prepare for their first flight. In the meantime, feel free to share your excitement for these feathered friends in the comments below!
Just in time for Father’s Day on Sunday!💜 (Although,our hardworking dad is looking a little disheveled.) Excited for the next installment.
Looking forward to bluebird updates!
