I am forwarding a couple of posts from VA Birds about Cowbird eggs in Bluebird
nests. I thought those of you who have bluebird boxes would be interested.

Subject: [Va-bird] Unwelcome egg in my bluebird nest
Can someone please identify this egg? Looks to me like a sparrow egg. It has a
bluish/greenish hue and was laid sometime between yesterday evening and this
evening. See attached link:

Mrs Bluebird laid one egg yesterday and one today and they are protecting the
nest, so, they have not deserted the nest.
I removed the offending egg. I am very sure that it is not a bluebird egg. What
can I do to protect my bluebirds?
If you'd like to see my bluebirds, they are online at www.neatnature.com, US
folder -> backyard.
Appreciate your insight. Thanks in advance!
Liezel
