Ding, ding, ding, WINNER!! Debbie, this is priceless. Look at the expression on the bird's face that has the worm...I can't get over this shot, it is just incredible. #1006227

Thanks Deb and Amy! I was so excited when I got this shot. I spent weeks in a blind before there was much activity at this location. I photographed the male and female once in a while during the winter on this branch, but when they brought their family there it was an amazing few days. #6521390

I see YOU are the bluebird expert around here. That is a terrific shot, I hardly ever have bluebirds at my feeders. #6856856

Debbie S. Steinhausser December 06, 2008

Jack, I have a few more on my website if you are interested. I have had a nest box trail for 25 years, but the last couple of years have been a disaster with the aggressive house sparrows killing both adults and nestlings. This one was taken 3 years ago. Sadly, I didn't have any stay over the winter this year. #6859226
