Chickadees make use of mosses for their nests. This is an active Carolina Chickadee nest in one of the nest boxes at Boyce-Mayview. These eggs will likely hatch within the next week, which means there will be a lot of activity at the nest as the parents work to feed the young. At this time, it's best to observe from a distance, using binoculars so as not to disturb the process. A couple of weeks after hatching, the nestlings will fledge, or leave the nest. If you are lucky, you may see the young leaving the box.
Check back here for updates. Later this week I'll post information on what to do if you find a baby bird.
