Bluebird eggs are hatching

I am having a problem, this editer seems to want to underline my text. O well I will continue. The eggs have started hatching. One egg hatched yesterday and this morning 2 more have hatched.





This is a picture of the male feeding the chicks. See the open mouth to the right.





This is a video of the female feeding chicks. Note, the female is not as bright blue as male.

Bluebird nest

We have a bluebird box with an installed camera. I should have started these postings earlier as we watched the female bluebird lay about an egg per day until May 22 with four. She probably started setting on the eggs about May 23 after the fifth egg. We were gone for several days so could not tell. We think that the eggs will hatch this coming weekend (Jun 5)or sooner. Will try to keep you posted.
