It’s a sad affair, but it seems our bluebird couple have abandoned their nest. The three little eggs are still there and have not been disturbed by any kind of predator. The only thing I can think of that would have caused them to abandon their eggs would be the heat. Since I last saw them around the nesting box over a week ago, we’ve had daily heat indices from 115 to 120. Maybe it was just too much for them. Of course something could have happened to them. I hope not and once I clear the box out, I hope they come back.
I'm a novelist, poet, and artist. I love books, nature, art, and gardening. I'm a rock hound and there's a photo of me with a cool fossil rock on my about page, I take a lot of nature pictures. The background here is one of mine. Unfortunately I recently lost my wonderful husband, but I'm grateful to have the blessing of two beautiful sons.
