All nests built this Spring? We have a yard history of Mourning Dove,
Northern Cardinal, House Finch, Eastern Bluebird, Carolina Chickadee, and
House Sparrow (drat!) during the 2025 + 2025. No more than 4 in one season.
Our yard is about 2 acres with predominately oak and hickory trees, a
native plant bed and a creek rambling out back. We feed birds during the
winter months.
Do you maintain a yard list?.
