Out back behind the barn, on an old fence pole and above the scrap pile is a blue bird house.  I placed it there when we first moved here.

Dependably every year there will be a nest of babies.  I always know when they are being fed because of the chorus of chirping they make.  And every year I can depend on them being much quicker than me when I try to capture them in the act.

Today as I fed and watered all the animals the little fellow came and did his feeding while I was very near!  Without my camera of course.

And so it is that I took this picture from the dining room window and blew this cropped bit up so we can at least see the babies.  It was a long distance (150 ft) and therefore blurry, but I’m just happy to have finally got one.

Maybe next year I will have a bird blind up and can stand right outside the barn door for a really great shot?
