Window Birding

we modified the bird's house gourds that we grew last year by drilling holes of different sizes, cleaning them out, and hanging three in different places around the yard. we noticed the one closest to a window was getting some attention from a chickadee the day after we put it up!

the gourds...we put the holes in different spots and made the holes various sizes to attract different birds such as chickadees, wrens or nuthatches.

the day after we hung them.....








so far there are no signs that anyone moved in for nesting this year but we feel optimistic that it will make a nice spot for the right birds in the future.
