Feeding Babies
Have you ever babysat a wild bird? Well I did. My neighbors feed meal worms to the Western Bluebirds that come around and nest each year. They left for California for a week and asked if I would like to feed the birds. It was a delight!
The parents take turn feeding the babies. This is the more colorful male.
This is the female loading up her beak.
The babies are due to fly out of the nest in about 3 days!
I was born and raised in Oregon but I married an Englishman. My husband, Bill, and I raised 6 children. I love nature, photography, calligraphy, quilting, many forms of art and a variety of music, but most of all I love to spend time with my children and grandchildlren. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology and plan to pursue a lifelong love of learning.
