Hi Gin –
So true! It would be worse if the babies didn’t make it out. And good point about all the females being occupied not to mention paired up for the season. I think the male bluebird in my yard lost his mate early in the season. He’s been bonded to our nestbox going on a month now. He still chases away any bird that comes near it. I think he is still hoping a lonely female will come his way. I am too! Thanks so much for your reply and welcoming me here. Appreciate your advice.
All the best,
Dana in Lancaster, PA
