My pair of blues that was defending this box seem to have abandoned it. I have not seen them around it much for several days although they do come to eat mealies. Hope they come back or claim one of the other 4 boxes, if I can keep HOSP away! There was a new lone piece of weed in this box which looked HOSP to me, so I removed it. I’m wondering now if this was the blues’ claim grass, although it was not pine needle or short grass, just one long piece of weed. Sometimes I wonder if we (I) don’t try to micro-manage our nestings too much, in trying to protect them???
