We have a baby!!!

What a surprise to wake up to!! Yesterday there were 2 cute little blue eggs, and today there is a naked little bluebird! He/she has a halo of feathers around it's head and looks quite funny! The baby's eyes are still closed and will remain closed until day 5 to 8. It has coral pink skin and little gray fuzz feathers. The baby's neck is so skinny and it is amazing that it can pick it's own head up!

I missed hatching this morning so I don't know if the egg hatches under the mother bird or if you can see it happen. I had my tape set on the wrong speed so it didn't record as long as I would have liked. I will make sure to try and catch the second egg hatching!

Here are some videos of the first baby!

Here are some pics of the new baby. I snuck out and took while the parents were gathering bugs.

This is one of my favorites of the new baby! Look at it's little wing!

Checking out what's happening outside the box. She will sit like this for a long while.

Now I'm just waiting on egg two!!!
