Well, as it turns out, I was wrong about our little birdie neighbors. While I haven't seen any activity from Chicky-babe's birdhouse in about a week, we discovered that one of the other original birdhouses by the garden is inhabited. We even think there might already be an egg or two inside. It could get pretty interesting here in about two weeks.
Doing a little research, we've discovered that our birds are called House Sparrows. Apparently, they are very common and can be slightly aggressive in their nesting pursuits and have been known to forcibly evict resident birds to take over their nesting sites. Sheesh. I haven't noticed that behavior around our yard, thank goodness. Well, more bird watching to do. (I will post more pics in a week or two when we get our camera back.)
