JulieQ, although this is my 3rd year hosting BBs. I've learned from other experienced hosts (right here at Dave's) that BBs are quite tolerance of us briefly visiting their "homes". That said, this is my 1st year of "visiting" their nests at such close proximity. For previous years, the old nest boxes that I used didn't have easy access to the doors, thus I've not been able to see them in this intimate setting. My main goal is to be able to peek at the eggs and hatchlings this year without disturbing them very much.

Just an update. The 2nd nestbox posted above on #3. Indeed is being taking by BBs. I thought Carolina Chickadees pair have claimed the box, apparently another pair of BBs have taken an interest in the box. So, I went and put out more meallies for them this evening.

Spring is suddenly appearing in our corner of the woods.
