And the nesting cylinders, what a great idea. Down here, we have starling boxes, Hugh made them and they are on top of a trellis railing. I love to see the birds taking in dry straw or grass to line the boxes in spring. We have rain, glorious rain.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-62389950341721050832016-03-15T13:37:34.777-04:002016-03-15T13:37:34.777-04:00I love the bat cave!

Sometimes, especially in the country, life presents us with all sorts of situations, partly funny ones(the woodpeckers'causing damage is not funny). Never a dull moment.

They still swoop around my yard in the evening but I have no idea where they roost. Of course with the barn, outbuildings and hollow trees around, they are spoiled for choice. Aside from woodpecker damage, I also have red squirrel damage. But that's life, warts and all!<br />Out To Pasturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17949493910996476623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-23092932017445694802016-03-15T08:11:45.508-04:002016-03-15T08:11:45.508-04:00Hello, The bats will be happy with their houses.

I used to wake up to them tapping on the siding over our bedroom window but the wood was replaced by metal siding years ago after a bad storm we had. Sometimes I still hear them. What a lovely idea to put a bat house up, and also those nesting rings. I have never seen those before. You take good care of your wildlife.
