We have a camera in our nest box and able to easily monitor our bluebird's activity. She laid an egg on April 13th and another on April 14th. This morning, April 15th, she removed both her eggs from the nest. Both parents are still around. The female has returned to her nest three times since the egg removal, for a few minutes, sitting on the empty nest.
To note, we did install a sparrow spooker after the first egg was laid and they had no issues with it. We have not seen any other predators or other birds (besides a tree swallow looking in once) around or in the nest. Any ideas why she would remove her eggs after just two days from laying?
