In March I showed you a nest cavity getting checked out by a Carolina Chickadee. The tree is alongside a path in Guilford Courthouse NMP (aka Battleground to locals, apparently). I’ve been checking on it for several weeks and thought the Dee had moved on to another hole. I was wrong. About a week ago I heard tiny peeping coming from the tree. I stopped and made a pishing sound by forcing air between my front teeth. Lo and behold, the parents swooped down with small worms and bugs for the young’uns! Of course, I tried to show off my bird-calling skills to Josh the other day, but the birds would not show themselves. He doubts my claim to the title of Bird Whisperer, but I’ll prove it eventually (I hope!).
