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.
Oh I am so sorry. I have never sent his before thankfully. I have had broken eggs but never this. So very sorry. Nature can be cruel.
So very sad ….I live in Schwenksville, and so know the cold you referenced. So odd to have them pass like that …..
