I look forward to reading this article when our copy arrives in the mail, but am surprised to hear of these birds nesting in boxes. We kayak near a pair who nest on Caney Branch Creek where it flows into Kentucky Lake. Unlike wrens and phoebes, they seem to want absolutely nothing to do with us or our nearby habitation, outbuildings, etc., so we don't try to get close.

Cyndi and I co-authored the article's text, but the story comes from Cyndi's many hours of observations and is beautifully illustrated with her intimate photos of the nesting family. The article is described in more detail in my recent blog post: http://vickiehenderson.blogspot.com/2014/03/tennessee-conservationist-nest-box.html If you are not already a subscriber to the TN Conservationist Magazine, consider visiting the subscription page at their website: http://www.tn.gov/environment/conservationist/conservationist_subscribe.shtml The magazine is self-supported by subscriptions, the price of which has remained at a low $15.00 a year for many years. Each issue contains informative conservation articles about Tennessee's heritage and wildlife, with frequent articles about birds. Many of the photographers and authors are people you will recognize from both TOS and other conservation organizations. This is a well-circulated way to keep Tennessee informed about the birds we enjoy and their future.
