Good morning gorgeous! #birds

Three newly hatched Bluebird chicks with one egg unhatched, but it does look like there is some pipping on the side

We (and by we I mean the Bluebirds) have babies!!!!!! #birds

Dinosaur alert! Nature’s tiniest chameleon-dino, the Cardinalsaurus, has graced us with a fleeting glimpse! #birds

A juvenile from the first brood still lingers close, watching quietly as Momma Bluebird sits patiently on her second clutch. #birds

Moment of sweetness. #birds

Tiny sunshine, big joy-hello Monday. #bird

Calm before the hatching begins. #birds

Moment of Zen #birds

And just when you line up the perfect shot......... #birds

Four perfect little Bluebird eggs, which in this heat, can incubate themselves. #birds

So this gorgeous Eight-spotted Forester moth (Alypia octomaculata) decided I was worth its time—and honestly, I’m honored. #mothweek

There’s a quiet monotony in sitting day after day in a sweltering nesting box, shaping the future one tiny egg at a time. #birds

The first Bluebird egg of the 2nd brood of the season. #birds

The Bluebirds have started their 2nd nest. Their first brood fledged on the 7th of July, which I completely missed unfortunately. They started this nest on the 17th. #birds

House Sparrows are not my favorite bird, in fact they are pretty much at the bottom of my list, but this little House Sparrow is pretty cute. #birds

And the Phoenix rises to greet the sun. #birds

Not long now - only a few days away from the Blue Birds fledging. #birds

Moment of Zen. #birds

Black Vulture sitting on a branch

Summer colds are the absolute worst. It gets its talons in you and just won't let go! #birds

Quick check on the little Bluebirds and all seems well. They should fledge within the next 10 days🤞. #birds

Mourning Doves are the best! #birds

Moment of Zen- two Mourning Doves attempting to keep cool in this heat. #birds

Tiny dinosaur alert! #birds

I was able to catch Momma Bluebird on the hunt for a little snack. #birds

Welcome to the world little Bluebirds! #birds
