    It is good to hear that the little ones are doing okay in the heat.

    My bluebird parents are feeding the young ones away from our back yard in a wooded lot nearby. There must be a good supply of bugs over there because they have not been cleaning out the mealworm bowl. Wrens and chickadees spend more time in the mealworm feeder that the bluebirds.

    This one was added without the title but it is more time consuming than just typing a simple title.

    Hoooraaah! It took a little time but it did work.

    I used my iPhone for this.

    1. In your imgur app, select the photo that you want to use.
    2. Tap on the photo. Your “share” screen will come up.
    3. Scroll down to “copy Link” and tap.
    4. Return to your post. Select the “IMG” above the text box
    5. in the pop-up, paste the link that you copied following the http// and press ‘next”
    6 Add a title. I will try to do the above without the title to see if it works. It would save this step.
    7. Finish your post and click Submit. Scroll up to the posts and you should see your photo in the submission.

    Have fun.

    Good news Carol. How many does this make for the year?

    Carol – I have not had the “heat” experience that you have there in the Midwest, but I have seen my female bluebird sitting on the nestbox or in the trees when our temps are in the high 90″s and not go into the box until the evening. I would mark the eggs as you said and watch for the rotation.

    I saw that Carol. Could be a banner year for you. Good Luck.

    Countrygirl, When I copied and pasted the link that you had in your post I did see the photos on imgur.com, but that is not what you are trying to do. I believe that you will be able to get the photos to your submission by suing the few steps that I sent earlier. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Countrygirl, Sorry, I have been in Michigan on a boat cruise out of Mackinaw City to see lighthouses.
    I am assuming that you have photos in your account at imgur.com and in the Bluebird Forum you are preparing a post to submit. To post a photo:
    1. In imgur, click on the photo that you wish to post.
    2. On the right side of the page is a column “View and Edit Post”
    3. Under that find “BBCode”. Click on this button to copy a string of code to your computer clipboard.
    4. Come back to your post and “paste” the code that you copied from imgur.com. It will look something like this
    img]https://i.imgur.com/nJniyO5.jpg[/img – only there will be brackets [—] at each end.
    5. When you have completed your typing in the post, click submit, and your new post should show your text and photo. It will not show the photo in the text that you are typing – only the code. Scroll up to where the new post shows in the thread and the photo should be there.

    Hope this helps. I will be off to Nashville on Sunday for a few days. I hope to see a new photo from you when I get back.
