bluebird joys and woes!

My first bluebird pair this spring laid 4 eggs and then something (probably a house sparrow) destroyed the eggs and threw them out of the nest.

My second pair nested successfully (Hurray!) and here are the babies!

Great pics of daddy.

Congratulations purple!!! Great pics!

Thanks for posting these and please be sure to keep us updated!

Now the mother is spending all her time bashing herself against my windows. The father is feeding, the mother must have a very bruised beak.

when I tried hanging up a towel, she just went to another window. Pulling the shades doesn't make a difference. Any ideas? I hate hearing her bash herself against the window!

Here's what I use, I bought them at a local wild bird store. They seem to do doing the job but I need to buy more; I have a lot of windows.
