This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Home Sweet Home
Day 175: The lease has been signed! A few days ago, a solitary Tree Swallow checked out the housing situation briefly. Today, the activity level increased substantially, to the extent, I believe, of a few sticks of furnishings being moved into the House of Chirp. The phone line has been alive with a flurry of conversations, so full of chatter that even the Porch Parrots' resonant "CHURP!s" are drowned out by the gossip. On the other end of the wall, Pussywillow Cottage is still up for rent, better protected from starlings and squirrels than it has been in years past. Whether it draws any interest from prospective tenants remains to be seen.
