Instead of two Eastern Bluebird fledgelings, there are actually four! I was able to photograph them two days ago when they congregated on a high oak tree branch. They were too far, but can be recognized in the photos below.

I don’t know whether they are all from the same brood that lived in the birdhouse in our backyard, or from that and another nest somewhere in the grove behind our house. They seemed to get along fine.

Meanwhile, the female Bluebird still lives in that birdhouse.

Yesterday, early in the morning, a House Wren came near the birdhouse and started calling out.

The noisy call woke the sleeping Bluebird up, and she peered out to let him know the birdhouse belonged to her.

The House Wren promptly left. A young Blue Jay stopped by our bird feeder.

Then a female Hummingbird came to the nectar feeder.
