Photo looking out of the greenhouse at a nesting cavity in the fence.

We put in a short stretch of cedar fence along the greenhouse, since it is within 20 ft or so of the property line and the road can be loud. Early last spring I glimpsed a chickadee prospecting one of the knots. My husband drilled it out and attached a birdhouse on the back of the fence. The pair moved in immediately and raised a clutch of chicks. They are back again this year, currently feeding so heavily they're hard to catch going in and out.
