Congrats on the babies! I am not sure who is nesting up in one of my many old tree cavities. I have seen the read headed the red bellied and the filckers in this hole. I will be happy with whoever comes out! LOL

I have Nuthatch babies in my Bluebird house, Carolina Wrens in my roosting pouch, a Cardinal nest in my Ligustrum and a Towhee nest in one of my Hemlocks. I know there are many more out there that I haven't identified yet. Only the Nuthatch have hatched so far and they are squeaking like crazy! I'm dying to sneak a peek but don't want to disturb them.

Ok, you win doggiemom.
I have something else going on here that I can't quite figure out....usually by this time every year I have most of my assorted boxes and nooks and crannies filled with nests of all shapes and sizes. THe ONLY boxes that have any activity so far are the two duck boxes, which are both crammed with new nests and eggs. The only thing to be found in any of the other boxes is the usual tree frog and that has me puzzled. The boxes are always cleaned out well ahead of the nesting season, so I wonder where everybody is. Like I said, maybe it is the surplus of natural cavities here.
Still, the one bluebird box at the corner pole usually raises at least 3 broods a year without fail, and not a thing is going on out there yet, though there are blues everywhere in the yard.
