Hi Tweeters,
Yesterday we had a war between 2 Violet-green swallows and a Chestnut-backed chickadee over our nest box. The chestie was moving in and the swallows decided it was their box and chased him away. The chestie sat on top of the box scolding his heart out but lost the battle. This is the box that the swallows nested in last year, so they probably think they own it.
