20 Bluebirds fledged, 7 in two last boxes

Bluebirds

The North bluebirds are getting along fine, eyes have opened, though just a slit here:


On the South side, two were in Box 4 still, their siblings left three days ago. I told them it would be a good idea to go and find your own food now:


I came back 20-30 min later and they had left! These two were in a nearby tree, probably the same two:


They had not seen much of the world so far. But they do know what food looks like if they happen to see it.

In Box 8, the three in the box had put on quite a lot of feathers in two days. They will leave in a week or so.

I took a bit of video as well. 


The parents are both here, they were a bit angry, attacking me with the help of an Eastern Kingbird:
