New neighbors moving in this afternoonPut up a new birdhouse on the power pole out back this morning and by afternoon these two had found it and are flying twigs in as fast as their little wings can fly. Not sure what they are yet - they have gray bodies and a black head with two white stripes. They sing really well too.
NAB :-) That's Dad on the wire I think.  Here's Mom up on top after sticking in another twig.  Last edited by nabisho; 22nd April 2006 at 12:52 PM.

Hi Nab,
How nice of you to provide a house for birds during the nesting season! I'm sure this pair are very appreciative and lucky to have found such an ideal house to raise their babies  They look like some type of sparrow, perhaps a house sparrow can't really tell by the photos though. Have fun watching them

Interesting little guys. Could indeed be some kind of sparrow, but looks too gray for house sparrow from those pics. How about some kind of Chickadee (looking at Petersen's)?

Thank you for providing a home for our wild birds. Did you make it yourself?
The house looks quite nice with a wonderful view.  Hope they enjoy their home and have a wonderful season, and hope they don't get any uninvited guests.

Looks like they are White-Crowned Sparrowshttp://www.greglasley.net/whitecrownsp.html
And this guy has a great website of nature pictures for sale - lots of birds of all kinds. As they get moved in I'll try to get a couple better pics of them, but they are fast and I can't even get the back door opened B4 they split, I had to take those birdhouse pictures through the back window. NAB :-)
