We chickadees have a powerful beak and can excavate our own nesting holes, but we do appreciate a little help. Plans for building a nest tube just for us (well, sometimes House Wrens take them, too) are on
BirdScope Online. We're going to be thinking about nesting soon, so now is a good time to start building!

These chickadee nests in Ithaca, New York, were both inside these chickadee nest tubes.
