Description

i went around to make sure the bird boxes were free of mice and squirrels and sadly found this box occupied. It historically has had blue birds for 6 years. The box is located in the middle of an open area down sloping to a creek. The area had 20 degree temps for a couple of nights so I can only assume that these were “southern birds” . because we have Blue birds most of the winter at my feeders.There was no visible trauma , There eyes were sunken in . No ants or other bugs present.
