This is something of an experiment. If it works, the post will automatically show up on Facebook. I have to try it to see if it will work.

For those who have followed this blog, you may have seen that I made a “hummingbird” house a couple of months ago. Then I found out that this isn’t the kind of house that hummingbirds use. I decided to leave it in place to see if anyone else was interested. Last week, Janie noticed that some chickadees were checking it out, but the hole was too small. It looked like they were trying to enlarge it. After they had tried for a few days, I took the house down from the tree. I could see where they had been working on the the hole, but they hadn’t made a lot of progress.

I took the house to the shop and enlarged the hole. I still wasn’t sure if it was large enough, but today the chickadees were back. At least they are interested!

We’ll see what happens. If this birdhouse doesn’t work out in the next week or two, it may be too late for this season, but I will definitely get something for them for next season.

I am also participating in a 7-day Nature Photo Challenge. This is Day 4, and my potential new tenant is my entry. I was nominated by my cousin Susan Sever, and for this day, I nominate Noel Aguilar to accept the challenge. Post a nature photo every day for 7 days and nominate another person each day to take the challenge.
