@phillyblues – yea, this box is in full sun almost all day so I nailed a big square piece of wood to the top of the 4×4 the box is on. Shades it nearly all day and helps keep the rain off. They seem to like it too, they are there a lot hunting off the edges. Hoping they take advantage of the shade under it by standing on the nest box roof, the male has a couple times.
@julie – thanks and no prob. I got kinda lucky by fast snapping my camera.
I get it, and as I stated I was gonna move it and did. I monitored it until they were finished but basically did it just so they would notice them. Thanks for advice. Going to try the photo, I have a pretty cool one.
Not sure if I’m the Dave. No worries.
Haven’t had a problem with other birds but yeah I was going to move it tomorrow. I think they know I might have food now so it will be easier.
The boxes aren’t too far apart actually, maybe 60-70ft. But there is a tree in-between them.
I’m 95% certain it’s the same bird. I read that they may do this, I think it’s rare tho.
Like I said, he only did it once and the female was standing on the top watching him.
I think he had some feathers that the female put in there. A little bit later I saw her fly to the ground and pick up what looked like the stuff in a cigarette filter (I think it was part of a dandelion or something) and take it to the box.
