Love the color on these birds. Nice shot on the limb. My company has built 7 nesting boxes on our property for these, but Chickadees will get into them.

Not as nice as yours. Had to crop considerably. Relative to your photos, I'd call this one "Role Reversal".

I thank you all. These are some of our favorite birds. No tips to offer we had a nesting pair in 2012, none last year and now they have returned. Good luck!

We had a pair in the same box last year, but the pair we have this year are almost a month earlier. We had them on the Suet feeders all winter.

Thanks to you both! She has been sitting on the nest for two days now so it shouldn't be long. :)
