I was so excited to see this little chickadee checking out the wren house just feet from my kitchen window. If he moves in it will be only the second time that I know of that birds will have nested in this house which I painted a very long time ago. (1993?) I took a Bavarian painting class when we were first stationed in Germany, so this was one of my little projects. I always wondered if something about the paint kept the birds away early on. Just last week I tried turning it to more of a south-facing angle, and I'm thinking that has helped make it more appealing. Keeping my fingers crossed for some new neighbors at the kitchen window this spring!
