Very exciting day today!  The pair of White-breasted Nuthatches that we've
had coming to our feeders all winter have decided to nest in the birdhouse
in our yard!  The bird house is high up in a maple tree.  I saw them
checking out the house in the winter, poking their heads into the hole but
they never actually went in.  I thought the hole was too small and they
couldn't fit.  But today I was pleasantly surprised to watch one of them
bring nesting material into the house!  I was able to get some pictures of
the female in the house and the male outside.  She has been coming and going
from the house for the past couple of hours.

Here are my pics:
