Baby Blues

We put the trail cameras in the north garden to see who was eating all the beans. And I do mean *all* the beans. Whoever it was ate both the beans and quite a lot of foliage in the bargain. We didn't catch the culprit, but we got some other delightful pictures.

 

 It took a minute to figure it out, but this is a baby bluebird.

 

There's a second one in the picture above, but it was almost entirely out of range and the camera only caught a little bit of its breast.

The bluebirds were enjoying the both the water and the bugs on the mulch plastic.


Here's Dad in the foreground (and out of focus). 

There were some other fun pictures captured by the trail cameras that I will share another day, but these were the very best of the garden patch photos. 

(Oh, and happily, there were two other bean patches, so we still had a pretty good harvest.)

It did seem a little late for baby birds, but bluebirds usually get at least two broods in each summer, if all goes well. Where I lived in Missouri, they often had three nestings!
