bad news..
went over to check on my bluebird babies yesterday and they were all gone.. something had have gotten to them.. no telling what it could have been.. we have feral cats possums racoons and other critters roaming loose..
I had been told that when you check on your bird houses make sure you always continue on past them, making a loop so predators dont stop cause you did and I did that.. but it was only 4 ft (maybe) off the ground and wasnt a deep cavity box like they normally like that also helps protect them from predators cause they cant reach deep enough to get them.. Im so bummed..

this fall Ill move my regulation BB box to where this one is and see what happens next spring.. at least I got to see them....
