Activity on a dead stump caught my eye. After a while I realized brown-headed nuthatches were going to that stump VERY regularly. So I checked it out. Binoculars revealed birds were sticking their heads in a hole and then, one came out with a fecal sac. The nest is about 3 feet from the ground in a shrub stump in the lawn by our driveway.
Elsewhere in the garden a pair of bluebirds has a noisy brood that are probably close to fledging. The adults were not providing frequent food deliveries this afternoon. Instead they'd sit on the box and then go look inside.
Our vegetable garden is growing well. I picked the first snap peas today.
