Two bluebirds watching over their nesting box.
Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD
These two bluebirds nested in my backyard only to have both sets of chicks eaten by two different black rat snakes. I moved the nesting box after the 1st incident and thought the snakes couldn't get to it. I was wrong. I felt really bad for the couple of bluebirds.
