New Neighbors…

[LuFins Dad]

Finley and I finished this project 2 weeks ago. I noticed it’s loaded up with a bunch of twigs and there are a pair of finches hanging around a lot…

That's great. We had our wrens make their nest in a pot again this year, but a racoon got them.

Finley is almost 5? Thinking back to my yoot, I have some memories of that age - vacation, a toy, etc.

Hopefully he'll have this as a memory.

Good stuff.

Good for you!

He'll remember...

That's great LD! We put up a blue bird (birdhouse) quite similar to that in late April. Some black-capped chickadees quickly built a nest of moss and twigs inside and a few weeks ago their babies hatched and left. Now I'm seeing similar birds (not blue birds yet!!!) that have been building a much more stick-based nest (similar to your picture). It's funny, it's right outside my home office window and lots of times the dummy birds can't figure how to fit a long stick through the narrow circular hole. Then again... it's impressive the nests built (including some robins and mourning doves around our house) without HAVING ANY HANDS.

Do y'all have purple martins?
