We still have 100% of the hatch. Five in all, though two are a bit camera shy. The Eastern bluebird pair have been feverishly feeding these babies from before sunrise to just after sunset for days now. We expect the young will soon fledge. We'll miss having them around.
It might be hard to see in the format here, but the below picture is looking almost straight up towards the male diving down at me. Both the male and female do this and they make a 'click click' sound as they dive towards the intruder. They come close, but do not connect.

Aww, how cute. However, you really were under attack. I am always impressed how such tiny creatures will tackle the equilivant of a 20 story building for their young.
