Hi Everyone:
First I hope this thread finds all my fellow Bluebirders in good health.
I was reading an article that said if a nest box has no activity you should try moving it, so that is what my husband and I did. We put the tools away and took a walk around the house and within 15 minutes there were a pair of BB’s at the box, I was so excited and could not believe my good fortune. I saw Papa chase a male, then saw Mama putting pine branches in the box and knew that was not the way things worked, so my excitement of a second pair did not last long. The front box has a complete nest, and from time to time I see the pair sitting on and checking out the second box. Now the question is should I remove the circle of pine she put there or leave it alone. I don’t think a second pair will claim the box with this nest starting in there. Looking forward to your opinions or insight.
