     Indeed! I wonder how many fledglings this box has launched over the years? May there be many more to come. 🙂

     🙂 It does look a bit like a snowy cap, doesn’t it?

     Thank you, my pleasure. The cover was not deep, but it was white!

   I hope they are nice and snug inside.

     At this time of year, probably just mice! But there are birds, like chickadees (similar to your long-tailed tits) that pile into cavities en masse to conserve warmth out of the wind. They can lose 25% of their weight overnight when it is bitterly cold.

   A great place for a Bluebird nest, hoping no other birds take it, first!
   • Eliza Waters says:

     There currently could be mouse residents (I didn’t check), but tree swallows nest here, too. There are a lot of boxes in this field, so there is room for all. 🙂

       That’s good that there are lots of boxes in the field! There’s a wildlife area near here, called “Burrage”, where there are those same nesting boxes, the Tree swallows like them, too.

    Lovely in its sparseness!

      Thank you, Dennis. The austerity of winter. 🙂

    Oh, this makes me look forward to spring! No more traipsing through the snow to refill the bird feeders and the return of bluebirds and robins and so many feathered friends!
    • Eliza Waters says:

      December 28, 2016 at 2:57 pm

      We still have a while to go yet! 😀

        I am working on convincing myself it isn’t as far away as it is.

      It even has a bed of roses. 😉

    I’m glad the birds have a safe, dry place to raise their young.

      This field has lots of ground nesters as well. My favorites are the bobolinks, which the owner takes care of by not haying until after the babies have fledged. The males have an unusual melodious song. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Bobolink/sounds

    Lovely composition Eliza! May they continue to come back year after year 💛

      Thank you, Val. Yes, I certainly hope they do!

    Anybody home?
    • Eliza Waters says:

      December 28, 2016 at 5:08 pm

      😀 I once opened a box in winter and lo, there was a sleepy mouse, which I felt badly for disturbing, so I hesitate to do that again!

      Thanks, Allison. Yes, we had a white Christmas and another 5″ fell yesterday. Everything is wearing a blanket of white. 🙂

      Ah, good eye. It was one of the things I loved about this one. It comes decorated! 😉
