I have two bluebird houses and the coons get the chicks almost every year. I am sure they have eggs in them now, but not home to set my traps at the base of the trees.
I added one new house that has a cone to prevent them from climbing it but none had made a nest in it before I left for work.
I trapped several coons earlier this year hoping to have put a dent in the population, fingers crossed the chicks make it this year.

You need to get rid of the cowbird egg out. They are a good bit bigger and when they happen to us before it smothered our bluebird babies

Sadly, our Montague County blue birds do not seem to be present. By this time, several of our nine BB houses would be inhabited. I have seen zero sign so far.

I mentioned the other day in this thread that my bluebirds were MIA as well. I thought I would add that they are back and here to stay. I put up a couple of blue bird houses in Feb and this weekend they moved in! I watched them bring nesting material in all weekend and hopefully we will have eggs and new chicks some day soon.

We aren't seeing martins yet either.
