Eastern Bluebird Babies: The Countdown Begins

Today is day 14 for the five Eastern Bluebird Babies.  The countdown has begun.  In approximately three more days they could become fledglings.  I know the nest is getting very crowded, and I’m sure the parents are getting worn out trying to feed them all the time.

Although I’m sure the parents are getting tired, it doesn’t mean they have relaxed on their hunting.  Check out this giant grub that Mama Bluebird found the other day.  Whichever baby received this tasty morsel probably doubled their weight:-).
