It's been difficult to get images of the male bluebird feeding the babies, because for the most part he doesn't. The babies real father was killed and this male only recently came into the picture. The baby is 33 days old in this photo and is able to feed himself.

This nest is made out of grass, or hay, and is located on a Century farm. The eggs are shiny from being turned by the brooding mother for 13 days. They should hatch in the next day or two. Harold R. Spencer Bluebird Trail. iPhone image taken by my daughter Lindsay.
