They Must Be Done

The evidence is quite strong now that our White Breasted Nuthatches are done with their most recent nesting attempt.  For one, I have seen no sign of birds at the box they used.  And for another, I have seen both WBN's moving around the feeders.  What I can't tell is if there was a successful fledge: I suppose I'll need to see three birds together as I am lousy at distinguishing juveniles of this species from their parents.  I can only keep watching to see if anything interesting happens.  It was a delight to know that one box here may have produced results.  Fortunately, the season is still young.
