So let's talk about murder.
When I was at Auburn in the early 2000's a friend of mine was studying bluebirds and she told me a house sparrow had killed a number of bluebirds in the box. I thought maybe this was unique to bluebirds and house sparrows but then I had some 100 boxes with bluebirds and no murders from 2009 until now.
Until now.
Found two dead tree swallows and both with head wounds - the MO of the murderous House Sparrow.
