I am still seeing lots of nesting activity. 

The female Anna's continue to grab nesting material.

They nest as early as March and could be working on their 2nd nest and 2nd clutch.

The Black-capped Chickadees are interested in everything I offer... 

Alpaca fur...

...and Parvati Patel Hufflepuff cat hair.

Getting it organized...

Grabbing and going...

The Violet-green Swallows are using Alpaca fur and cat hair as well.

They are amazing fliers and are able to grab from the ball of  organic cotton!

They've started to get serious about nest construction.

This house looks to be occupied.

As does this one!
