Bird Watching: Bluebird Nestlings Peeking Out, 1 by 2dCousinDave

This box is in all the wrong places. It is too near the house (3 feet). It is next to a fence and it is in direct view of a host of house sparrows that sit on my neighbor's roof and watch to see when the good birds are eating. The bluebirds really prefer privacy but there is none of that where they are. On top of all that the box is turned toward our kitchen window so they are looking at us when they are peeking. Also, there is no tree nearby for them to fly to. I plan to move a couple of shepherd's hooks so the adults can perch on them and coax the chicks out.
