Wild Wild Woods: chickadee

chickadee - 8 eggs

We used the plans from NestWatch to emulate a "tree snag" nestbox using a PVC tube. A pair of chickadees found it quite cozy and built a nest inside. Monitoring the snag box for NestWatch, we noted on May 23 their clutch of 8 eggs.

About this blog "Wild Wild Woods"

Through 2018, the posts on "wild wild woods" were photos taken in my bird garden and a set-aside strip of land that was the old fence row when the suburban lots in my neighborhood were farmed land. That wooded area sheltered a variety of plants and wildlife among the trees, understory, and a brushpile.

Now, my windows look out on a pond.

My new location is another former farm field that became a neighborhood. Fortunately, the wetland was preserved. It includes a pond surrounded by wildflowers, grasses, reeds, and a few trees.

I am pleased to observe and enjoy these places for birds, critters, and plants of central Minnesota.
