First Tenants Confirmed
At first we thought chickadees were moving in to my "best" nest box---the one that's attracted the most birds over time. But today I got a really good look and realized we actually have White Breasted Nuthatches! This box also saw a successful WBN fledge two springs ago. That they are nesting is a confirm: I watched one bird fly in material and hand it off to another inside the box. Assuming they have been busy at this task for the last three days I am quite certain an impressive establishment is now in place. My next job will be to rig up, if I can, a BirdCam to take some Hail Mary timelapse shots in hope of capturing good images of nest box traffic. And we can now celebrate our first tenants of 2012!
