Spring is For Sure

Girlfriend and I got out late yesterday afternoon to start cleaning-out nest boxes.

Our plan was to hike-up to the north end of the property and gradually work our way back to the house.  It's going to take awhile.  We cleaned-out a total of 18. 

One of them was demolished.



Bent post, deep scratches and busted box.  My guess?  Adult buck was sparring with it.

Dang deer.

Thank goodness for standardized bird boxes.  I can attach replacement parts, slap-on another coat of sealant and  get it back in service pronto.

How do you know  that spring is here for sure?

That's easy.  The red wing blackbirds and meadowlarks have arrived.

Ahhhhhh....
