We have a bluebird box in our back yard.
We'been watching bluebirds hanging out on top of it, going in and out.
Guess what's inside the bluebird box? This:
This is not a bluebird nest. This is a very cozy feather-lined chickadee nest.
The bluebirds got scooped. They were not quick enough to move into the box.
Update (about a week later):
There is a nest on top of a nest.
Bluebirds swooped in to reclaim their home.
We are keeping an eye on this to see if wrens or sparrows try to move in. Last year, wrens evicted the bluebirds (eggs and all...) and built their own nest.
Dear Reader: do you like bird watching? Do you have a favorite bird?
