A blast from the past!
I have been watching and waiting for a tenant for my Chickadee houses since April. Nothing...
Until Tuesday evening, when I went back to look and saw and heard a Black-capped Chickadee.
It flew into this house and back out again.
Each time I watched, the bird was bringing food to the nesting box.
Here's a good view...
...it also appeared to be interested in this loose soil.
As I did not hear any chirping babies, I believe that the female is incubating and the male is bringing her food as well as adding to / tidying the nest.
I am so chuffed to have Chickadees nesting. Be assured that I will watch from a respectful distance so as not to disturb the birds.
Woohoo on the chickadees nesting at your house, Beth! Enjoy your Friday!
