And this year's Winner is . . .
. . . Every year the Tree Swallows and the Bluebirds compete for this nest box. Last year the Bluebirds successfully nested here, but this year the Swallows were victorious.
It appears that the Bluebirds are not as aggressive, and that they will not nest anywhere near the Swallows in our little orchard. Last year when the Bluebirds were in the house, the Swallows were content to nest in another box only about 100 feet away.
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
