Subject: No sighting, Bluebirds and House Wrens
Hello!

I had a clutch of Eastern Bluebirds fledge yesterday and I was very happy
and excited! Then, in ONE day, this morning I heard House Wrens for the
first time this season. They have moved IN to the bluebird house, looks
like nesting on top of the bluebird nest. Should I clear it out? Cover up
the opening for a few days to dissuade them? Last year, I had three
different broods come from that nest box. I was going to reach out and ask
if I should clean it out anyway, and then the wrens moved in.

Advice?


Many thanks,
