Poppa Blue Bird Watching Me
A highly zoomed pic of Poppa up in the Pine tree watching me as I approach the box-I did not open it.
The last few days I have seen something rather extraordinary. I have not seen the Mother bird since before the eggs hatched. I have seen a juvenile male from one of the earlier two broods hanging out with Poppa AND helping feed the nestlings. I have now seen him got to the box with food over a dozen times. And he and Pop chatter at each other. They perch together on the feeder pole and junior follows Pop everywhere.
I have tried to capture a picture of him at the box but, my zoom is puny and I have to stay far away or they will not go to the box to feed the nestlings. I am able to view the box from our deck with the binoculars and have watched with amazement.
I will keep trying to get a shot of this. It's quite remarkable as one of my Flickr Birder friends has confirmed.
