So my husband put up a Bluebird box on one of the deck posts outside of the kitchen.  It's been really fun to watch our Bluebird pair find the box, lay five eggs and wait for them to hatch.  But we've had some interesting developments:

After all five eggs were laid, we found a pile of bluebird feathers and remnants on the deck.  We saw the female coming back and forth to the box, but no male.  Dang.  Single mother with five on the way.

We read up on if female Bluebirds could raise babies on there own, and they can, but it's hard/stressful. 

The next day the eggs started hatching, and all of the sudden there's a male Bluebird hanging around.  We have multiple theories on this guy, but my husband keeps calling him "Step Daddy" and will bust into Step Daddy lyrics (Too Short) every time he seems him at the box. Hilarious, btw. We haven't seen him bring a single worm to the box. 

This morning the male keeps throwing himself into the glass on the west side of the house (nest is on the north).  He's trying to fight his reflection, but in doing so he's going to break his neck or wing, or something.  I keep going out to shoo him away from the window, but he keeps coming back to battle.  Oy.

Boys.  I tell ya.  There you go, getting killed, mooching off mama for a mating opportunity, and picking fights.  Classic.

Well I walked right into that one.

Btw, Mr. PG-13, you also had the "violated" wetsuit comment.  Interesting court cases--riiiiiiiiiiiight.

Nope, feeling violated by a wetsuit just means you've got it on right.

Now when the guy bluebird is away and being good and calls home at 2:00 AM and a guy answers, perhaps that's why he didn't bother going back to the nest. Ever think of that?

All the time.  Who the hell still has a land line?

And, dang it, I still don't get my wetsuit on right.

I went into the pool area (as this was a pool swim) and got body marked. That's when it hit me that I was there to race - this was not a clinic.
