Western Screech-owls pair bonding in their nest box. Male only entered the box with the brooding female with a prey item. Vocalizations are too cool. Both times I saw this behavior the male left with the prey item. The 5 eggs were recently laid.

Second pair of Black capped chickadees excavating woodchips out of nestbox

this is on 82 Camic Road in Central Square in my parents backyard by the lilac bushes. Just to note on the map of my submission it points where my apartment is not my parents house where the video was taken. I go to my parents house to watch the birds and take pictures. This video is a second pair of chickadees excavating woodchips out of the nest box which is right next to the other nestbox that has the nest in it.

First black capped chickadee nest

I add woodchips earlier in March to the chickadee nests boxes on my parents property and a pair began excavating them out and now have been building there nest with moss from the yard and horse hair from a barn I ride at when shedding season comes. No signs of eggs yet in the nest. I am waiting and checking every once in while because not sure if the chickadees are waiting or are not ready to lay eggs yet. just waiting…….

Wood Duck Nestbox Photos

Wood Ducks have claimed box number D1 for the past four years. This year there are 21 eggs being incubated. Other wood duck females have added there eggs to this nest. A second box was monitored on April 14, and a small female wood duck was observed sprawled across many, many eggs. It appeared she was even trying to incubate them with her wings, head and neck because there were so many and the floor area was so big.

House Finch Nestlings

So happy to see there’s Nestlings after the recent very high winds. I thought the nest would’ve blown out of the near top of the Arborvitae tree as it bent in half as the wind blew with 50 mph gusts.
This nest is in a tree right outside my kitchen window. The birds have been very aware of my presence. Even prior to nest construction. They’ve still decided to build and birth.
