Hello Pelletory,

One of the Wren houses was up since last fall. the other was put out in February. The one I made was out since the 2nd week of March. Currently we have 5 mated prs of House Finches and 3 mated prs of HOSP...several are in the process of building their nests. I see them take the materials I've left out for them and they collect leaves from plants...especially the soft leaves of our yarrow!
I hope it will at least be occupied when one of those prs have their 2nd brood. It's just disheartening when I waited all winter to finally have a nesting pr of birds in our yard. We usually have about 6-8 mated prs of Goldfinches that nest within the distance of a block in any direction. Too bad they don't use birdhouses...LOL
I do enjoy watching the females take the fluff from the balls I leave out starting mid-July :)
