Next Door Nuthatch
Click on photo to enlarge
After the local Gray Squirrels relentlessly chewed away at their wooden bluebird house our friends and next-door neighbors, Grant and Bill, put up this sturdy secure concrete birdhouse and a pair of Pygmy Nuthatches (Sitta pygmaea) have moved right in. I took this photo from our deck at about 8:30 this morning. We also have a pygmy pair nesting in one of our boxes back near the chicken coop.

so lovely, I am worried for nesting birds round here, the local council are ripping all the hedges out of their rented properties, so there is nowhere left for them to go.
Concrete birdhouse! How unique! Where can we learn how to make one?
I bet there are some unhappy woodpeckers about.
Great idea.
Love the concrete bird house - Wonder if there are concrete (bear proof)bird feeders? :=)
How wonderful to have the Pygmy Nuthatches! I haven't seen one since I was a kid at junior camp in Mentone.
Sweet little bird. I fear, though, that those squirrels will eventually turn their teeth to this box as well.
gee, is nothing natural anymore!
Lovely! (Oop, I see I repeated Claire!)
But lovely just the same...
I've never seen a little nuthatch...they're cute.
What a good idea, a concrete birdhouse...the poor little squirrels will wear their teeth down trying to chew on that.
That should keep the squirrels busy at trying to find new methods of destruction.
What a cute bird. We don't have these around here, just the White and Red Breasted, and it looks more like a Phoebe than a Nuthatch to me. Thanks for sharing your bird!
good solution -- let us know how it goes!
Lovely!
