This shows the predator guard that I put up AFTER they established their nesting box. It protects them from large birds such as crows and jays that would prey on the chicks and it confuses other birds that might steal the nesting box. So far it works great! I put it up and both bluebirds didn't skip a beat with skooting down the little mesh tunnel to their nest. Got the grub! And down the tunnel... Treat delivered and backing out...whoops-a-daisy...! Mission accomplished! Pixc - Ontario, Zone "Z5b"   Seil  Supporting Member My Garden Journal My Weather My Time Posted on Monday, May 05, 2008 - 08:53 pm EST :    Great pics, Carol.

The pair of Housefinches. What a good idea to feed the Bluebirds with.

I remember very clearly how much trouble you had with other birds disturbing the blue birds. I am so glad you seem to have found a solution and I hope it works for them throughout the time of rearing their young.

The house finch shot is quite remarkable as well. Of course the BB shots are always adorable. Geez...I do gush over your pics but it's just that they're so GOOD!
