Marna, thanks. Love that excellent idea to attach fruit on a wire for birds. And the Purple Finch is sweet. Please share more pics. when you have time.

Thus far, I think only the Tree-Swallow pair made a commitment for the gourd house. Interestingly this is the same one that housed a family last year. At first when they browsed the houses. They seemed to explore the other gourds, I thought they may avoid this very same one that was occupied last year -- for it's up high and Jim and I haven't figured out a way to get it down to clean it out.

I hope that they will chose one (gourd house) per year each nesting season, once they've all been used, then we'll disassemble the setting and clean them out. Hah, that will give us another 5-6 years stretch. lol

I checked the BlueBirds house, yesterday. There is no building material in there yet. :(( I only saw a male BB, but there was not a female around. These maybe new ones for they haven't found the mealworm feeder that I put out not too far from them. As a result, my Titmouse, Northern Cardinal and Carolina Chickadees are having a big time with the treats I put out that was intended for the BBs.
