Fledging

This was the last photo I took on Friday of the baby bluebirds.  According to the info I have read, you should quit monitoring the nest after the babies have turned 14 days old or it could force the babies to fledge too early. 

I have been watching the nest and mom and dad have been working hard to try and coax the babies out, in fact I have caught several photos of the babies peeking out into the world.    The mom and dad sit right outside the bird house  and talk to the babies, still bringing them food.  I plan to remove the old nest so the bluebirds can build new asap if they need to.  So excited we have successfully helped a family of bluebirds this year!!!!
