I am interested, Tammy. I have always had the bunched chicken wire and hardware cloth inside the baffle but now with my 8″ baffle, I find that it does not move much from side to side when I touch it near the bottom edge. I might take the chicken wire out and put it above the baffle as you suggested.

Stafford, VAWe have 5 now. I will check the box again later to see if there is another as the other Dave found in his nest.

Stafford, VAYes, Judy, they appear to be the same pair. I think that they were with me all winter as I had 3 or 4 bluebirds at my nut and seed feeder. I did see the male chase off one male and possibly the second female about a month ago. He also shut down a pair of HOSP. I have not seen them since that day, but I am ready if they return.
David
Stafford, VAAnd then there were 4. This is the first time that I have notices more than 1 egg with a white spot on it.
David
Stafford, VAThank you Carol. I am sure that as your weather warms up, the Bluebirds will be back. Mine took a while before they started to build.
David
Stafford, VAThank you Judy. We are having mid-40′ t0 high 50 degree night right now. I see a couple of 38 degree nights next week but mid 40’s after that. I think we might be out of the freezing temps now. At least I hope so. I do have a foam “insulator cover” ready in case it is needed.

Stafford, VACarol, sorry to hear about your “lack of nests.” I was concerned about mine due to our extend cold spring. The weather took a warm turn just after Easter and my pair came back but did not start to build a nest until 6 days ago. Now I have 3 eggs in the nest. Has your weather warmed up to 50+ degree nights?
They should return soon.David
Stafford, VACher and Tammy, I do see avatars on for some of the members but quite a few are missing. I do not remember all who had avatars before but I know that Carol in Missouri, Tammy, Rich, and several others did. Hopefully they will return soon.
David
Stafford, VAGood luck with the cool temps Tammy. BB’s are very independent and don’t listen at all. :)
David
Stafford, VACher – whatever you did with the update, it worked. The avatar is back. I see yours and mine on this thread but not Tammy’s. I am going to check the other pages now.
Thanks again for all that you for this forumDavid
Stafford, VAI am changing my baffle from a 6″ stove pipe to an 8″ pipe. I am still using the hardware cloth and chicken fencing for additional protection. I will post a photo when I complete it. I have to work between nest building trips by the BB pair.
