bluebirds often spend the cold nights together in a bluebird box to keep warm
- i haver seen photos of many crammed into a box in the middle of winter - i
think if you moved the box to a nearby location, they will find it - also,
consider where you are putting it in order to keep black rat snakes from being
b=able to get into it and eat the egss or babies - find a good bird supply
store
and see what you can get in the way of a baffle to keep snakes and raccoons
from reaching into it - and if you have to have the tree taken down.
definitely do it way before any nesting period might start in march or april -
