I just wanted to give you a quick report on my birds. All the babies have now left the nest. The Chickadees and the Tufted Titmouse’s were still there on Saturday morning. I think they both left Saturday afternoon. On Sunday I did not see anymore visits to the houses. On Monday I checked the houses and both were empty. So I have cleaned them out – since they don’t return once they leave.
Now the Bluebirds can house shop again. I saw the male go inside house #2 this morning – that was the house the chickadees were in. Hopefully the Bluebirds will build a second nest and raise a second set of babies this year.
For Mother’s Day the boys gave me a gift certificate to Wild Bird Unlimited and I went this weekend and bought a Woodpecker House. We are trying to decide where to put it up and then I’ll hope to have woodpecker babies.
Thanks for checking in – when I have more news or pictures I’ll let you know.
Hey, just found your blog, quite by accident. I subscribe to Inking Idaho, and found you there. It just so happens that my son and his family live in Woodstock and I visit there several times a month. So wild !!! to make new friends. I will be there this week end for my grandsons 4th Birthday party. Would love to meet you sometime and maybe come to something at your house and bring my daughter in law. She is an avid scrapbooker and card maker (sometimes). Would like to better introduce her to SU very soon. I will be keeping in touch with you and remember to invite me to some of your events. Love to meet you sometime.
