Fun times at the house again.
Dave has been busy working in the garage on a rush project. The other afternoon, while we watched, several Chickadees checked out our nests up front. They nest out front every year. Two years ago they fledged four chicks in the tiniest nest that was decorative and technically not suitable for nesting! Clearly more real estate was needed for them.
So Dave got some lumber and got busy. Our Chickadee boxes were designed with an additional feature we hope they like - a peek-a-boo window.
Dave got these done quickly and we hung them last night - just in time for the latest snow storm. It has vacillated between 65 degree summer days and 30 degree winter days. Today is winter.
From the new room, we can see into each window. Hopefully we get some birds moving in quickly.
If we are really lucky, we'll get some House Wrens in another nest. And if we are super duper lucky, some White-Breasted Nuthatches in another. There is plenty of room for them all!
We'll let you know when we get some tenants!
