The bluebirds in the nest box in our yard have fledged! Here, Papa Bluebird feeds a baby that's bigger than him. The baby pushes him around quite a bit, trying to get more food. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #fledgling #bluebird #nature #HoosierMast

Adult male bluebird on the right has his beak (with the food) deep in the baby bluebird's mouth.
Baby bluebird (on the left) pushes the adult bluebird, trying to get every last crumb of food in the transfer. You can see that the only blue is on the fledgling is on the tips of the wing feathers and the rest of the body is covered with mottled white and dark brown feathers.
Baby finally lets the adult go and it flew away almost immediately.

@carpingdiem. It is good to have successful fledglings. They are starving.

@carpingdiem. Do the bluebirds take meal worms from feeders?
