An update on the bird housing....
The wood duck houses and the mallard nesting tubes show no signs of apparent activity. The smaller chickadee houses dispersed in the woods are mostly vacant, but a couple have wrens living in them (wonderful, easily identified song). The Peterson bluebird houses, tho, are NO VACANCY. Unbelieveable response. We put up six, well spaced and away from the timberline (per spec for attracting bluebirds). 3 have Tree Swallows and 3 have bluebirds. I know that so much of attracting birds is the species and the region, but from my 'hood, these cedar Peterson BB houses are the hot ticket.
