Chickadees Have An Active Nest
The nest in our so-called "bluebird box" (that keeps failing to attract bluebirds!) has not only attracted a nest builder, but an egg-layer. And today I identified the species. It was clear once I saw the eggs we were dealing either with a titmouse or chickadee. Once I opened the box for inspection today I startled a---chickadee. Mystery solved. It is interesting that the chickadees used such a large box given their usual taste for tight little holes. But so what? The last user of the box was a d**n House Wren and I'm happy to see almost any other nest builder. So we watch for another coming hatch...should be fun!
