Northern Flicker 2001 nestbox video
This spring a pair of flickers began simultaneously excavating wood chips from an old nestbox behind the crib and also excavating a new cavity in one of the large sycamores in our front
yard. This happens frequently - it seems the male and female don't agree early on about where the nest will be. [eng]

American Kestrel 2001 nestbox video
This lathe turned kestrel box with fitted video camera was erected in the barnyard on March 30, a month before our kestrels usually begin nesting. After
raising the box, I opened their old wall mounted box to block the entrance hole and was surprised to find 5 eggs. The kestrels had won a year's reprieve
before they will be evicted from the barn wall and forced to use the classy new deluxe apartment in the sky. [eng]
