You are doing a great service for the beautiful bluebird since they have become pretty dependent on humans for their housing. Congrats on all those successful fledglings leaving the nest! A family member has built bluebird boxes with room for a hidden camera. It has been great fun to watch but we also witnessed a starling squeeze into the nest this summer while the pair was out gathering bedding. The d*mn starling pulled the most beautiful male bluebird we had ever seen into the nest when he returned and attacked. The starling pecked that bluebird to death in less than 3 minutes. Nature can be very cruel. Wishing you continued success in your endeavors.
