Shattered ~ Day 244

The last two bluebird eggs are gone. The nest is officially gone for the year. The sparrows managed to win the game this round. Found bluebird eggs within a few days of hatching destroyed. Pierced by the house sparrow beaks. They started building a nest on top of the broken eggs. The house has been taken down. I will continue next year all over again. This happens from time to time. Never gets easier. But I know going into it I am dealing with nature. Shattered eggs and shattered heart for now. This too shall pass.

  1. Vishnu beat Shiva and then lost in the grudge match. But keep in mind that you got a bumper crop to begin with and you made sure the sparrows did not profit from their felony…

    • You are exactly correct Alex. I have to keep reminding myself about that bumper crop to get me through. This is all a grim reminder of how it is for wildlife in nature. Most do not have the protection I give the bluebirds. The bluebirds have been lucky over the past several years in my yard and then nature intervenes. I will start over in the spring.

  2. Of course, the sorrow is great. And I’m sorry.
    Is there a possibility that in a large fenced cage, where they can not learn the sparrows and those birds live, nest and get the young?
