How big is the egg compared to the BB egg? Looks like a sparrow egg
to me.

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: http:// andresenrealty.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=1525&g2_page=2
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
