The bluebirds are nesting again in our nest box and already have chicks. Here are some shots I took yesterday of the adults bringing in goodies for the young’uns.

Specific Feedback

Any comments appreciated. I left in the lichen tuft in the first image - any thoughts on that composition?

Already working on the next generation? Excellent images, Allen, and the birds are still in prime condition.

Nice work Allen! Nature certainly has the best pallet. :+1:

Personal preference - the 3rd shot, with those juicy worms - I’d cut out the lichen in no 1. All excellent - lucky you to have such great models.

I like the first one including the lichen. Great pose and the lighting picked up those blues nicely…Jim
