Saturday a Black-Capped Chickadee pair immediately inhabited a cedar =
nest box based on the design recommended in a message by Mike Patterson =
some time ago. The box attracted the Chickadees within 10 minutes after =
attaching it to a post in the back yard. The flew back and forth all day =
Saturday and Sunday. I noticed a woodpecker like pecking inside the box =
at various intervals. My searching on the internet failed to reveal any =
details of how chickadees build their nests. If anyone has details =
please enlignten me. They were bringing large amounts of moss to the =
nest but I couldn't detect anything else being used as nest materials. =
Thank you.
