I hate wrens. They are very aggressive and overtake my bluebird boxes. If there are bluebird eggs in the nest they destroy them and throw the shells out. If there are bluebird chicks in the boxes they kill them and throw them out of the box. Then make their own nests. I’ve even made special boxes just for wrens so they don’t kill my bluebirds, but they still do it anyway. I’ve had it with them. If bluebirds set up house in my boxes this year I’m really tempted to use the BB gun on any wrens with ulterior motives. :(
That might explain why I'm not seeing bluebirds. I didn't realize wrens were so aggressive. Maybe I'll chop down that thorn bush after all.....

Back to birds for a minute.......

Last year, I kept seeing birds that looked like robins, except they have black/white speckled feathers. They have the red belly and look like a robin otherwise. Any clue what they are?
