Gone to the Birds

It's that time of year when the birds start to look for homes for their families. I always put out over three dozen birdhouses made out of old Folgers coffee containers as shown above. I clean them up from last years wear and tear and give them a new coat of paint. I paint them red, green, yellow and two shades of blue. Last year they all had nests except one. Most of them are bluebirds, but the sparrows claim a few and martins like the hanging ones.
