A neighbor has a few grassy acres with a barbed-wire fence along the road. The
wooden posts are rough and old. The past few days I have been seeing neat new
holes in some of the posts, about 1.2 inches diameter, and opening down into
the partly rotted center.
Today a Brown-headed Nuthatch was perched on top of a post, singing his heart
out, for 15 minutes or more, two different times. When I got a little closer
the 2nd time, another one came out of the hole and flew up into a Cedar.
Ah, Spring! We may get a late February nest.
Also the nearby pond had a loud chorus of Peepers.
