Update April 10, 2026
As expected, the Chickadee has been laying eggs the past three or four days and then covering them over as protection from preditors. Today, she uncloverd the eggs long enough to reveal 4 eggs. Chickadees normally lay between 4 and 7 eggs, so there might be more in the next few days.

Update April 2, 2026
The Chickadee nest seems nearing completion. One Chickadee has been sleeping in the nest the past two nights. We expect to see eggs sometime in the week or so.

Update March 29, 2026
The Chickadees began building a nest in Birdhouse #1 today.

Update March 28, 2026
We have seen activity in Birdhouse #1 the past week. Both a Wren and a Chickadee have been investigating this birdhouse. The Chickadee has been the most active so far.

Update March 1, 2026
The birdhouses have been cleaned and are ready for the nesting season. Birdhouse #1 has been moved further away from the woods this year with the hope of discouraging some predators. We will switch to birdhouse #2 if we see activity in there.
