My bluebirds are done for the year. The fledglings are feeding themselves. Papa has reverted to his grouchy old ways: Always eating first, never permitting Mama or any fledgling on the feeder until he is finished and flying into the face of any fledge that begs from him. Sometimes he will sit on the feeder for a long time without eating, seemingly enjoying making the others wait. And as you can see, he is looking pretty ragged.
