Male Eastern Bluebird Being Romantic With Mate

Good news.  I finally got my camera back from Canon.  Bad news, I didn’t really check my camera settings before I started shooting.  Oh well, at least I have my camera back.

I checked the Bluebird nest today and it looks like she is holding steady with 5 eggs, which is about average.  As soon as I got home, I fed the Bluebirds their daily meal worms.  At first, the male seemed to be hoarding all the meal worms in its mouth, but then I saw why.

He wanted to share the meal worms with his mate.  I’ve watched him do this many times before, but never been able to capture the image.

Now I don’t know about you, but seeing the guts of the meal worm sure does like appetizing.  No wonder she chose him as her mate:-).
