Bluebird Baby #2

This morning we had to get up really early, so I was lucky enough to catch the second baby hatching. Don't get too excited, it hatched under the mother bird so you can't see it actually hatching. I was really hoping to be able to see it though. You can see the mama pulling the egg pieces out of the nest and eating the egg shell for some extra calcium. She also tossed some out of the box I noticed when I went out there.

Here are some pics I took from outside the box. The don't make any sounds yet.

Video I took through the bluebird box. The perk their heads up when I whistle.
