We made Blue Bird houses with the kids a couple weekends ago. Othy precut all the wood for us and everyone got to ‘make’ their own. We finally got them up yesterday and after a nasty storm this morning, we watched a cute little bird (I didn’t get a good enough look for a true ID but it looked like a Wren) checking out each of them. The kids were very excited to see a bird using their houses. It was actually very funny to watch. The Wren flew in and out of each on, sat on top of each one, flew from the door to a nearby branch from each and in general was performing a full blow home inspection. We saw the Wren again about an hour later… but I’m not sure if it has set up a permanent residence yet.
Here we are in the process of building our bird houses.
