We have had luck with our bluebird house for several years. Yesterday 6 little ones hatched. A bit crowded in the nest. Going to keep the parents real busy! Here they are.

Awwww... we've had some beautiful blue birds in our bird houses this year too. So happy to see them thriving again. :D

So nice to see nature thriving like this, it always amazes me. More birds is a good thing they'll help control all those pesky insects that attack our plants in the garden.

Great pics. I wish we had bluebirds here in San Diego. Besides being beautiful they are great insect eaters, especially when they have young in the nest.
