had a common yellow throat respond to my pishing which in itself is a
miracle as I usually make them leave. Canada geese are nesting on the
island and when visited by "presumed" fish crows (id'd by call), the male
folk got after the crows. 3 ruddys with really white patches and stiff
tails, heard field and song, and chippies. Still many wt sp. After
observing the chickadee building a nest in a pipe about 2-3 " in
diameter,and getting several reponses from other readers. does anyone know
if a nest pipe could be constructed from PVC pipe and and 90 deg elbow. I
have conceived in my mind a 3" diameter pipe cut on a angle on the ground
end to pound in the ground, drill 2 holes for nails to pass through for a
support for the nest and then an elbow to make the "hole". should I put
wood chips in for them to excavate? is it too late. Oh forgot(at the pond)
to add Phoebe calling and a nesting bird I forgot to look up; grayish with
yellow wash on the sides nesting underneath some working part of the
overflow mechanism of the pond. ( sometimes I just go and look and marvel
without knowing what I am looking at) Pond at NE orange co, nesting
chickadee in Moncure and I am in Hillsborough NC barb brooksba@mindspring.com
