JL Johnson :veri_mast:Invasive house sparrows are terrible! So prolific that our poor native bluebirds really struggle. It takes gobs of time and active management to ensure a bluebird couple can establish a nest, but even then the threat isn't over. They need your help!I use two-hole boxes. With the extra hole they can generally defend the nest. I get mine from JackQuest on Etsy. Well priced, masterfully built. Not an AD, but he is part of my naturalist chapter. I don't get anything. I just like supporting a friend, cool dude, and bird advocate who does great work.<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1439636148/deluxe-cedar-bluebird-nesting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.etsy.com/listing/1439636148/deluxe-cedar-bluebird-nesting</a>? <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/easternbluebird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#easternbluebird</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/missouri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#missouri</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/nestingseason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nestingseason</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/nestbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nestbox</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/NotAnAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NotAnAD</a>

JL Johnson :veri_mast:It is hard to believe it’s already nesting season here in the <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/KC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KC</a> ‘burbs. This fella and his pretty lady are interested in our back box. They better hurry up, because the dumb house sparrows are aggressive this season, already! Last year it took many nest evictions and a few sparrow traps before a native couple settled in. <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/missouri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#missouri</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/easternbluebird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#easternbluebird</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/nestingseason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nestingseason</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/backyardbirding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backyardbirding</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/backyardbirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backyardbirds</a>

Global News KingstonHow to handle Toronto’s notorious dive bomber, the red-winged blackbird Put away the boxing gloves. The red-winged blackbird is only trying to defend what it holds most dear.

HerzleidI was awake unusually early today (before 7.00 AM) and was treated to lots of common merganser/goosander/sv: storskrake action in the back yard. I think there might be two nesting couples?! I never actually saw four birds at the same time but they flew past so often from different directions I think it must have been more than the usual two. The new couple might be nesting in the dead oak behind the gardener's house… I will need to investigate further.<a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Birds</a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/NestingSeason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NestingSeason</a>

Sarah🌳Just had this pushed through my letterbox. Obviously the start of the bird nesting season is *exactly* when you want to start cutting down trees, and tackling overgrown hedges. On the reverse it says NOW IS THE TIME - it really isn't. 😠 <a href="https://mas.to/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/nestingseason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nestingseason</a>

Shantell PowellBarring emergencies, it shouldn’t be legal to trim big trees during nesting season. Those poor birds nesting in those trees. If the babies aren’t falling onto the ground, they’re being tossed into the chipper. It’s horrible. Workers are destroying the beautiful maple trees next door. <a href="https://chirp.social/@waterlooregion" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@waterlooregion</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/kitchener" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kitchener</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NestingSeason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NestingSeason</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Deforestation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Deforestation</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BirdDeath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BirdDeath</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Robins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Robins</a>

Ostdrossel :verified:A pair of <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Chickadees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chickadees</a> has decided to make the green Twoholer a home and the female started building yesterday 😍 I have not really seen or heard a lot from the House Wrens so maybe they decided to go elsewhere this year. I do have a Wren guard ready, and I added a shroud to reduce the hole size so no larger bird can get in either. I have never seen Chickadees nest, so this would be delightful. <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/nestingseason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nestingseason</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/birdsofMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdsofMastodon</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/birdwatching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdwatching</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Ostdrossel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ostdrossel</a>

Dr. PattieCleaning out a large planting container, I found a litter of baby bunnies. I was concerned I’d frightened off the mother. I read you can monitor a doe rabbit by laying a piece of thread across the nest. If the thread is moved, the doe is active. I placed a pink thread across the nest. Moments later, a sparrow was delighted with the awesome pink thread it found for its own nest! 😐 Touché, nature. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rabbits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rabbits</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SuburbanWildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SuburbanWildlife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spring</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RabbitNest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RabbitNest</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sparrows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sparrows</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NestingSeason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NestingSeason</a>

BeckyMWe are bright and sunny this morning in spite of all the snow we've had. The little birds are singing and our lovely, noisy rooks are still busy nest building.
