Spring finally sprung on the North Coast.
Bluebirds and swallows build nuisance nests in newspaper boxes along the street. Have had at least one brood per season since putting up box out back 10 years ago. Sparrows and finches need to be chased occasionally, but once bluebird decides to build - very combative toward the others. Few bluebirds stayed thru this winter...a rarity. No idea what they survived on.
Need "rat guard" apparatus to keep coons and snakes from climbing up post and havin a meal.
Pileated (the big pecker as this Capt calls em), only here once so far this spring. Head color vibrant. Announces himself before landing on feeder.
Got an oriole feeder, Christmas gift...waitin to try that out.
