The Great Crested Flycatcher nesting in our Red-bellied Woodpecker box is busy feeding the hungry nestlings. She paused to check me out as I was photographing her.

Prepare your breakfast and then put out some mealworms on the kitchen window ledge. Then you and the bluebirds can watch each other eat breakfast.

Bluebirds love their mealworms. If you put some out on a window ledge, you will get to see the bluebirds up close and personal.

The female House Wren is still hard at work on the nest. She is weaving the twigs so the nest will remain intact for the nestlings. Any twig that doesn’t fit is ejected from the nest. She still has to line the nest.

The female House Wren has almost finished building the nest in the nestcam box. She still has to line it. There should some eggs in the nest within the next few days.

The Great Crested Flycatcher nesting in our Red-bellied Woodpecker house is pausing for a breath of fresh air. It is very hot today — around 100° Fahrenheit.

If you put a hummingbird feeder near your kitchen window, you will enjoy watching the “tiny visitors” throughout the day.

“Bluie” came to get some mealworms this morning and found the cup empty. He gave me a piercing look and then turned his back on me. I put some worms out and all is well again.
