The past severe cold weather brought many cardinals to my feeders; more in this picture could not capture them in the frame.

The Last Summer Eggs

I took a bit of a risk taking this photo. I knew it was getting close to them fledging.

And I was correct, within a few days they were gone.  

 

Summer Eggs 2

 Finally, after a few weeks they are here.

More later..... 

Summer Eggs

 

I was surprised to discover this because it is so late in the summer. 

More as this develops....

Signs of Life - final

This is the last photo. They have some of their feathers I would say within the next week they will fly into the world. 

Signs of Life - 5

 

Probably just a few days old.  More photos to come....

Signs of Life - 4

 

I actually captured this photo my accident.  My intent was to photo just the eggs.  The Birdhouse is higher on the stand so I could not look down into the nest.  My phone camera was placed inside without me know a bluebird was sitting on the nest.  

Stay tuned for more Signs of Life ......

Signs of Life - 3

Two more eggs since the last post.

Stay tuned......

Every Spring we look forward to the return of the Bluebirds.  This is still a work in progress, but I would believe soon we will be seeing eggs.  More to come......
