The rain fell continuously during the night and continued until late afternoon the following day. Mama and Papa Eastern Bluebird parents struggled to feed their 5 young in one of my Gilwood nest boxes. The young were large, hungry and due to fledge in 6-7 days, so the parents supplemented with suet crumbles all through the rainy day.

Awww….such committed parents! I hope all the young survived and are thriving!
It’s been raining and windy for two days, and I haven’t seen my blue birds feeding at the feeder for 24 hours. I’m concerned. I know they were sitting on eggs.
