Tiring Work
It's rare that we get a chance to see Bluebirds in our neck of the woods so when friends told us about a nesting pair in their back yard, it was worth a visit even from a non-birder like me. The new Mom and Dad were indeed constantly back and forth to the nesting box with mouthfuls of worms and insects. It must have been tiring work as one or the other would periodically take a break - as Dad seemed to do here. I was exhausted just watching them.
We were careful in keeping our distance too - not wanting to disrupt the feeding process of the little ones.
