Baby Bluebirds are doing well at 7 days old

Nestlings at 7 days old
Went to check in on Desi and Lucy's nestlings Friday, June 17th and they are doing well.  They were 7 days old on Friday and I could hear them chirping inside as I opened the box.  As I peeked inside, I found that there were 5 nestlings in the nest instead of 4!  I could also see the 6th egg that was unhatched, still sitting in amongst the nestlings, so our official number now is 5 nestlings!  I took a quick photo of them with my i-phone.  Definitely not the best picture, but you can see that they are starting to grow in their feathers even though their eyes are still shut.  Stay tuned for more updates!
