| Once the Eastern Screech Owl had moved out of the box it took less than a day for the house sparrows to take it over. Many birds have looked at it but these two work hard and fast to create a new home |
 |
| Female was bringing in new nesting |
 |
| Male was bringing in long leaves from next door |
 |
| Female telling male to hurray up |
 |
| More reeds brought in. |
 |
The female is now on eggs and male sits beside his new house keeping others away.
I have no problem letting house sparrows use the nest box.
In October all the boxes will be emptied cleaned up and ready for another season.
