| rentman Frankfort, KY Zone 6a May 5, 2008 | Can anyone identify this bird ? Yesterday I saw these birds looking it over, they (two of them) going in and out. They had no nesting material but one of the birds stayed inside for maybe 5 minutes. I built this bird house just to decorate my rose trellis , it has no ventilation or drain holes in the box. I sure it will be hot inside. This message was edited May 5, 2008 4:51 AM

| OPbirder Orchard Park, NY May 5, 2008 | It's so cute! Looks like a black capped chicadee to me. |
| pelletory Marlton, NJ May 5, 2008 | Very cute! A Chickadee yes but more likely a Carolina Chickadee, can you put some drainage holes in it? This message was edited May 5, 2008 7:27 AM |
| pelletory Marlton, NJ May 5, 2008 | I apologize. You live in N. Kentucky so it could be either one or even a hybrid Chickadee. |
| rentman Frankfort, KY Zone 6a May 5, 2008 | Thanks for the info. I will drill some today before they get too far along with their home. I now have a robin rebuilding a nest from which the last babies have left. Guess I must now get into Birding ^_^ |
| pelletory Marlton, NJ May 5, 2008 | Its a nice hobby! ^_^ |

| foxyphloxy Cortlandt Manor, NY Zone 6a May 6, 2008 | Yep. It's a black-capped chickadee. My little flock get so angry with me when I'm near the feeder garder. They will start angrily chirping at me! The nerve! |
| Resin Northumberland (UK) Zone 9a May 6, 2008 | Ditto to Pelle - it's a Carolina Chickadee. Out of range for Black-capped. Resin |
