Last summer me and the boys (well mostly me) built this bird house. At our previous home our bird houses were only inhabited by wasps, but we had great hopes for this one! First it wasn't a small one someone else built - we built this one with good woods and had some plastic under the roof to keep the inside dry, mimicking what birds would find in the midst of a tree.
So we did have a couple of nuthatches come and make it their home! The chicks were LOUD! As of this week the little ones have grown up and are gone but I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the two birds coming in and out of the birdhouse bringing food to the little ones. Looking forward to it next year, I hope they'll come back.
