Thanks Pelle...she definitely contributed to the Blue population in our area! I had checked her the day before yesterday and decided to not open the box as she was in it and didn't fly out like she usually did. She had probably already passed but I didn't realize it.

Yesterday when I went to check the box I noticed a lot of activity around the box...a male and a female were in and out and on the box in an unusual manner...so Papa blue wasted no time in finding a new mate. So..she may have been gone for a few days and I just thought she was sitting.

Here is Papa calling to his new mate. It is very hot here and he looks it.
