Carolina Chickadees checking out my new nestbox
A male chickadee flew over to the fence near my nestbox, he then when inside, came out, and called to his female. She flew over and went inside. We just put the nestbox up 2 days ago.

The Yellow-rumped Warbler comes every day, multiple times a day, for peanut butter.
So many backyard birds that I never see! Cowbirds, finches, chickadees, and more!
The chickadees have been coming every day since December 19. They have come to almost all my feeders. They are such cute birds.
So many birds at my new woodpecker log feeder, tube feeder, platform feeder, and seed block feeder.
The chickadees,Titmice & Nuthatches love the suet.
do you the large egg on top of the others could be the egg of a cowbird?
I knocked on the nestbox and had no indication there was anyone in there. Imagine my surprise to find this little Carolina Chickadee in the nest, presumably on her eggs!
These chickadees started building 2 days ago.
Six Carolina Chickadee eggs located within a bluebird sized box. Placement in residential landscaped garden.

Nest in a nest box.
A quick snap of our nest box with eggs from a Carolina Chickadee
Nest Box check – 8 eggs remain intact. Hatch date may start 5-7 🙂
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.
