Been very busy over the past 6 weeks.<br /><br />I've had success with BC Chickadees in nest boxes. Specialty stores like Wild Birds Unlimited sell nesting boxes that are of appropriate size for small passerines like chickadees and wrens. For chickadees and nuthatches, line the bottom of the nest box with wood chips. This will fool them into believing that it's an abandoned woodpecker cavity. Also, be sure to place the nesting box far away from your feeders (the other side of the house is typically good enough). Good luck!BJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13591980294071742268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711534201953838909.post-6734082050067557472013-02-06T22:25:14.777-08:002013-02-06T22:25:14.777-08:00What a nice site!

Over the last month, we've had Juncos, several Varied Thrush, Townsend's Warblers, Scrub Jays, House Finch, Anna's Hummers, Pine Siskens, Black capped Chickadees, a couple of Downy Woodpeckers, RB Nuthatches, mobs of Bushtits from time to time, Ruby Crowned Kinglets, and Robins.<br /><br />We're new at this. What kinds of nest boxes can we provide for any of these?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
