Helen: Wonderful photos of the Bluebirds.
Outstanding pictures! I wish I had blue birds once again.
With your help I know Ollie will come through. Good luck to him.
Great captures of some intimate moments between parent and child.
Blessings,Ruth
Nature is frequently so very sad. In spite of the help we try to give them bad things happen to them all sooner or later. I'm glad at least the two survived.

Oh my dear--that is just tragic. Poor Camille. Wonderful photos, though. I have downy woodpecker fledglings visiting me right now. Lovely blog.
What beauties.
Lovely shot of the feeding, and the first one of the youngster is great.
Lovely as always Helen. Your Eastern Bluebirds make such wonderful subjects.
You have the loveliest bluebird photos ever!
Love those BlueBird photos.

I can't take my eyes off the baby Blue Bird in the first photo.

What beautiful shots of these oh so pretty birds! It's kind of sad that some of the babies don't survive.
:-(
He is a fast mover that Ollie. {:)
Your top image is exceptional. Great composition and eye contact. Nice work with the whole series. Blue Skies.
I have read that, sometimes, the female leaves to start building another nest and leaves the male to feed and raise the babies..
Last year we lost the male after two broods..that was hard to accept..
..I understand your concern.
Your photos of the little ones and of Dad are great..so clear and detailed..very nice!
These photos are so great! I just love your baby bluebirds. I'm sad about Camille, but hope Ollie finds a new mate.
Hi,
It is nice to see that at least two did it!! Not so easy to raise for a single father I guess!!! Nice shots of the family
What gorgeous photographs. I love the way you manage to capture the personalities of the birds. Kudos to Ollie for carrying on.
Sparrows kill blue birds??? That's horrifying! Does this happen often?
Lovely to know Ollie is being a good single dad. I know so little about the bird world!
Oh Helen...love your Bluebird shots...especially the babies!!!!Sorry I don't get to visit much anymore...hospitals like to work their employees to death! lol
Always enjoy your blog!
Helen,
I am so happy that Ollie is feeding the fledglings! How sad that their summers in your yard as a couple, he and Camille, are now over. I'm glad he may have found a new mate. Sixty babies in the six years is a wonderful gift to the world by the two sweet parents! I had no idea house sparrows would trap and kill a bluebird! Thanks for sharing their sweet sad story with the rest of us.

P.S. I've been away much this summer...have missed seeing your posts, and am anxious to get back up to speed.
