The singing is to attract one as I'm sure you know. I have a second nesting in the yard right now. Aren't they just beautiful? I watch them wing wave etc. It's cute. Anyways the other day a Blue Jay landed on the bluebird's box that has 4 eggs in it. Mr. Bluebird came closer and saw this, and he just started swooping that Blue Jay like mad at least 5 times, and the Blue Jay then left. I got a kick out of that! Kathy Hi Tammy,

It only stands to reason. I hope this Lone Blue(as I call him) finds a female soon. I feel bad for him. This morning he was perched on top the box just singing away. Thanks for the help,and the advice on the nest. Bluebird Fanatic Wow I never even thought of that. It only stands to reason. I hope this Lone Blue(as I call him) finds a female soon.

You can save that nest, though, in case you have other broods with insect infestation in the future... That’s what I’d guess too :( :( Poor you and poor Poppa Blue.

On taking it out it was the most perfect nest with a nice cup. I still haven't a clue as to why this has happened 2 times. Since then I have 1 lone male BB that has showed up. He was at another of my wooden boxes, and then decided to hang out at this one, but I see no female at all. It seems the BB's that were around, and would come in and eat mealworms have disappeared, and there are a pair & this lone Male that come in but do not come in to eat til I am well away from the mealworms. This one male is always going in & out of my PVC box & checking it out, and chasing any bird away that gets close. Did you find out anything?? Very puzzling. I was hoping this male would hook up with a female & they would nest there. I actually took the nest out as I did the last one(the one that was a half hearted pathetic effort).

What is happening today? Did you leave the nest intact? I truly don't know the answer to this one, but I'd let it go and see what occurs. I'll ask around to others I know who may have some idea.
