Cecil my Tree Swallows always nest in my Blue Bird houses but this year this couple is using the Wood Duck house. I have the house fill a third of the way with cedar shavings but if they fill the house the rest of the way for their babies to leave the entrance hole it may take for ever. I do have a roughened walk for the wood ducks youngsters to get up to the hole so maybe they can use that. I hope they know what they are doing.
It gets even crazier around here. Here is a bat house that has never had a bat in 10 years but last year a woodpecker pecked a hole in it. A few days ago I saw a woodpecker hanging on at the entrance. The Tree Swallows just like to meet on top of the bat house.
