Thanks Myrna.

Interesting how the older female bluebird on the right scolds the younger one, but ignores the house sparrow. BTW, unlike in past years when the parents selfishly guarded the nest box and the water and meal worm supply throughout the Fall and Winter, Papa doesn't seem to care and most of the young birds that hatched this year are gradually coming back to the feeder, along with some that appear to be neighborhood strangers since they don't understand how to get into the cage feeder to get the meal worms.

Maybe it is because he lost his mate. I still see him from time to time but nothing like past years.
