365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

New Tenants
Day 199: They were almost two weeks late in arriving, but when they finally showed up, both Violet-Green and Tree Swallows were anxious to find suitable accommodations. I noticed both species investigating the properties on the north garage wall. Although the interiors of these highly desirable bungalows were renovated during the winter, the Violet-Greens waited a little too long and before they could make their bid, the contracts for both dwellings had been signed by two Tree couples, both of whom are actively engaged in nest-building. The House of Chirp (shown here) and Pussywillow Cottage will soon be filled with the sounds of sweet little Swallow babies.
