Help us nest!

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.

I'm planning to put some of these nest tubes up north at Hasty Brook this spring!!
