[va-richmond-general] Re: bluebirds and babies

I had two chickadee pairs  nests in boxes and cleaned them out. after they were 
done. the house wren pair came back this year to the same box about a week 
after I cleaned out the Chickadee nest from the box . this is the same pattern 
as last year. the house wren pair did a second clutch last year after the 1st 
clutch fledged. They may be on clutch two now. the chickadee pair in the box 
the wrens are using started in mid February again this year. A pair of  Titmice 
used the Bluebird box in my front yard. I do have 3 young bluebirds at the 
feeder the past week on a regular basis eating nuts with a parent bird present. 
 most of my neighbors have bluebird boxes too and some have snags with cavities 
in the wooded backyards. last year the area pair had 3 clutches all hatch and 
fledge. I once saw young from all 3 in my yard at the same time

Sincerely,

Tyler Turpin

Down at our property we've had bluebird, chickadee (2) and house wren (2)
nests around the field, and all have been successful. Bluebirds have always
done well down there, this is the first year we've had successful chickadee
nests in the field and the first for house wrens nests.

A really good year.

The chickadees are growing up on a diet that includes lots of the peanut
butter suet. The newly fledged nuthatches, downys, titmice, and Caroline
Wrens are regulars to the deck for peanut butter suet, also, as are the
adult catbirds and thrashers.  In fact, the goldfinches are about the only
non-peanut butter eaters!
