Nesting activity in and around my yard in NE Johnston Co., NC so far:
15 eggs hatched in one of my wood duck boxes;
Bluebirds with five eggs in the same box in which they have raised two
or more broods each of the last three years;
Carolina chickadees in the box I put up in the pond for prothonatories;
Brownheaded nuthatches in a dead sweetgum snag on the edge of the pond;
A large black rat snake in the screech owl box I put up in a large
loblolly in my woodlot- it evidently took care of the starlings that had
usurped it.
Take care,
