Then the morning that I expected the eggs were due to hatch, I went out to look in the box and all the eggs were gone. The momma came back looked in and then left, the same with the daddy. They never came back again. I suspect it was a snake, since there was no trace of any of the eggs. The hole is too small for other birds, racoons, etc. The Bluebirds have not used the nesting box this year.

Many males attack their reflection in windows.
We had a Robin who had terrible rows with himself at our patio windows.
Pigeons often crash into them on sunny days with blue sky reflections.
I have walked into the darned things myself on several occasions thinking the door is open!
