Tom Reynolds photographed this female Western Bluebird with her fledgling. The baby looks like it is asking where is the food. Bluebirds tirelessly bring insects to their young. Perhaps it's time for junior to hunt for his or her own tasty morsels.

Have you ever thought how important insects are as a food source? They are extremely important!
