Odd! There has been very little activity around my dead tree out front.
Usually both Starlings are present. One building the nest--the other
sitting guard in top of the tallest trunk.
I swear there were days I never saw either if them.....started wondering if a hawk
could have grabbed the sentry bird???

I looked inside with a flashlight--and there was just a layer of straw pieces.
Nothing resembling a nest....but--that could also be deeper inside, out of view.
There's plenty of room.
Today--I saw one of them again....Hmmmmm....

Here's a picture i took of the "sentry" one day--not the best--full zoom and through
my storm door window.

The other picture is taken the same way. it was cute--
the Dove sitting on top of the feeder..wonder if he/she is a loaner?
