Bird box

Just visited our daughter and whilst there I noticed that there was some activity around the bird box just outside her sitting room window...




and a video....

Oh cool. Our birds are all staking out their rentals for spring too. This is either a Purple Martin or a violet green swallow I believe.. cant tell since its not that close. we have the Violet green swallows around us. They love these type of boxes.

Sounds like you have really interesting birds there Cris. I need to look up Purple Martin's and Violet green swallows. We do have Martin's and Swallows but they certainly haven't the colourful names yours have. I always have trouble recognising the difference between ours they are very similar.

Hi Judy, glad you have enjoyed reading and seeing the pics from our trips. Yes, it really does feel like Spring is starting...about time, lol :-)

Good luck to the blue tit family!
It is lovely to see the birds in pairs now, getting ready for spring.
