Like all songbirds, newly hatched bluebirds have swollen bright yellow lips to help their parents see their mouths inside of the dark nestbox. These birds will soon outgrow their downy and awkward tufts of feathers. June 2nd, 2019. Photo by Megan Wilkins.

It can be difficult to determine the sex of nestling birds! By gentling holding the wing open, we can (try to) determine the sex based off of the shade and extent of the blue colour. June 2nd, 2019. Photo by Megan Wilkins.

These bluebirds are just a few hours old! It will be a day or two before they are able to open their eyes. You can see the right-most egg has a small hole – the result of bird #4 trying to peck his/her way out. May 31st, 2019. Photo by Braden J.
