Title: Red Breasted Nuthatches Considering Nest Site
Post by: BetCrooks on April 05, 2013, 04:34:34 PM
Hi,
We have an ancient crabapple tree that we deliberately left the stump of a large branch attached to when the branch died. It's been home to downies and chickadees in the past.

This week a pair of red breasted nuthatches have been investigating one of the holes. We've seen them come out with little bits of wood. I think it's too soon to say they will nest there, but we'll be keeping an eye on them.

Hope everyone else is enjoying birding too!
