Hi all, Betsy Darlington checked the nest box with binoculars and it turns out to be nesting material of the Grey Squirrel, I guess the one that nested previous years. Sorry for the false alarm! Lesson: It pays to carry your binoculars with you all the time!
On real bird wise notes, there was a House Finch singing half-hearted song from my Norway spruces. Three days ago, I heard a Carolina Wren, and Tufted Titmouse singing while I was waiting for the bus.
