I made and placed some new birdhouses yesterday. This one (and one other, not pictured) is for the bluebirds.
We’ve been getting a lot of bluebirds at the feeders lately. Hilariously, a few days ago a bluebird tried to stuff itself into a wren house but was too big to fit. That’s when I decided to put out bluebird houses. Of course, as soon as I took down the wren house (which had gone unoccupied for years) and replaced it with the bluebird house, along comes a fuckin’ wren and checks it out!
This one’s for screech owls. It’s slightly tilted, but the tree is leaning and that’s as high as I could get the box. I’m very interested to see whether I can get one to nest here. Our neighborhood is full of owls.
