Way to go Diane! I have two nest boxes being investigated by Chickadees but the Bluebirds I had snooping-around at the beginning of the month have been absent for weeks. Hopefully the Chickadees have success before the House Wrens show up.

On one hanging platform feeder, have seen a male red bellied wood pecker run off a blue jay several times. This is in Milford Twp.
I have 6 completed bluebird nests and 1 more with 4 eggs.

I had 85 Blue Jays over Belle Isle this morning. Their northward migration is peaking now.

Hi Everybody,
It’s not noon yet, and this morning I’ve seen both blue jays and nuthatches “make babies”. Plus a very loud redheaded woodpecker has returned! Can’t wait to see what happens next!
Plus four eggs in our nearby bluebird box. And wait! Make that two redheadeds!
Dody
P.S. Is anyone else feeling like blue jays are taking over all territory and feeders?
