Ah, I've seen Eastern Phoebes use green moss to line their nest. I saw Northern Cardinal picked on my Clematis flowers one year. Currently the White-breasted Nuthatches are really busy with their task at hand--sitting on the eggs. The past week, I only saw a lone one exiting from the nest box, came to the feeder then repeated bringing food back and disappeared into the box. I thought to myself, oh no, what happened to the male? Thinking that maybe a female that have to fend for herself and the potential chicks inside? This morning I once again saw the 'couple' at the feed station. I'm breathing sign of relief.

The Northern Flickers apparently have moved on, I haven't seen them around our neighborhood even. The Cardinal's nest in the bamboo groove. The mama still patiently sitting on the eggs and patiently look the other way when I'm working in the area.
