I am a member of the Burlington Bird Club and monitor 20 of close to 100 bluebird boxes along the club’s bluebird trail. While checking this particular box, I tapped the box and nothing flew out. I opened the box and did not see a bird until I went to gently tip the basket to count the eggs. And then a chickadee popped out of the nest but refused to leave! I couldn’t see the eggs so I took a quick picture to see how many she was guarding. This is one attentive chickadee momma!

A pair of Carolina Chickadees claimed the nest box I mounted on a laundry pole within 12 hours. It took them 5 days to begin building their nest. 15 days to complete their nest.

Carolina Chickadee Nest Building
I set this nest box up 4 days ago. The Carolina Chickadees inspected the box the same day and began to build this nest which takes up about half of the box volume. All of this work done in 4 days by two little birds. Hoping for great nesting success this year same as last year. Maybe these birds came from this nest box last year.
