[Bluebird-babble] MOBL question

[Patrick Gould]

Thanks Kevin

I am just trying to figure out what is going on.  A nest was started in Box 1 and then abandoned before a cup was built.  A nest was started in Box 2 and then abandoned (I thought) before a cup was built.  Then it rained and the next day the male was displaying to a female (new bird?) at the second box.  Maybe they stopped building and were waiting for the rain - it has been very dry and windy all March and April here.

    Do male Mountain Bluebirds build a partial nest as part of the courtship ritual?
  Not something I've seen documented anywhere, so I'm guessing the answer is no.  I do believe that sometimes a pair will start a nest, then abandon it partway through to build one somewhere else.
