The Prize

The girls and I were out a couple of days ago and cleaned-out 50 nest boxes.  We removed the old nesting material from the previous occupants making room for new tenants.  A couple of nest boxes were consigned to the scrap heap and a few more destined to the work bench for repairs.  This is another rite of spring - and just in time as virtually all of the birds have arrived.

Her Highness made the entire circuit with a prize she found in the woods.
