April 7th, 2007 A Brown-head Cowbird was odserver tying to enter a Eastern Blue Bird box in Louisville TN. The male Eastern Blue Bird was battling a male Brown-head Cowbird while the female Cowbird was trying to enter the hole in the box but was discouraged by the female Blue Bird inside the box. Later in the afternoon I check the box and found the female Blue Bird, which flew out of the box, was setting on 5 blue eggs, no white eggs.
