Nesting Season!

Dan, Lisa Byrd, and I walked Luria Park this afternoon and saw evidence of nesting!

Here is a female Red-bellied Woodpecker excavating a nest cavity. We watched her tossing out beak-fulls of saw dust as she made her happy home.

This pair of Carolina Wrens spent a lot of energy packing the crevice of a large rotted stump with moss and leaves.
Looking forward to seeing the hatchlings later this spring!
