For the first time in a couple of years, we
have residents in our birdhouse. Not wrens this time, but Black-capped
Chickadees. It’s fairly easy to get
photos of the adults leaving the nest, as they stick their heads out
first. In fact, we even got shots on one
removing a fecal sac. But it is almost
impossible to get a shot of one entering the nest, because they show up a dive
straight in without a pause. We
generally get a back and some tail only.
Other birds are working on raising families
too. An American Robin is busy gathering
worms for its young, and a Northern Cardinal fledgling stopped by in the yard
too.
While waiting for all this to unfold, a
Chipping Sparrow showed up and took a drink and a bath at our pond.
