[va-bird] Re: killer bluebirds?

Larry,

My husband and I are in our fourth year as co-chairmen of the Roanoke Valley
Bird Club's three bluebird trails, and I've been the County Coordinator for
the Virginia Bluebird Society for three years.  The only similar incident
I've heard about was last year when one of our club members reported that a
chickadee on eggs was killed in the nestbox by a male bluebird.  She
believed the bluebird was one that already had a clutch in a second box in
her yard.  I don't know if that means he was greedy and looking for a second
house or just overly territorial.
