Found blue feathers

[Chris]

Found blue feathers in the yard today, pretty sure it was the male of the pair building a nest here. Primary flight feathers with a couple of the rusty breast feathers, no mistake.
I’m pretty sure a red-shouldered hawk is the culprit, its been hanging around regularly. i moved the regular bird feeders away from the house so they wouldnt attract so much attention . Makes for a subdued Easter.

This is sad, Chris – there again, Mother Nature is showing who is boss. Hope you get another pair.

Sorry to hear that Chris. Hopefully another male will show up soon.

Dang! That stinks! I found some also over the winter as well, only secondary feathers so I don’t know if it was killed or not. So many hawks in our area.

The widowed female bluebird came to eat mealworms today. I’m hopeful another pair will show up.

Keeping my fingers crossed for another male for you, Chris.

Just read your post Chris, so sorry about your male Bluebird, and hope you get another male for your female or a new pair.
