Chickadees Gone Wild!

 There is an Open House viewing today. Prospective owners are checking out the accommodations. .

 I was anticipating the return of Chickadees to the nest box; they had been sited scoping out the box and nest building seemed imminent.  Then this happened.  This is clearly an illegal Reno by the Woodpecker as this box is clearly zoned as Chickadee Residential.

 "I wonder what's on the other side of this hole?" Chicks are definitely curious about what's out there.

 I expect these guys to fly-the-coop in the next 2 days.
