Housing crisis solved

(Before)

I was prompted to take action after I witnessed a hawk pluck a small bird from one of these compartments.


(After)

A temporary fix to substandard housing saw the residents flock back to their old home.




They waited patiently on nearby tree limbs and wires while I nailed the face piece back on and tacked a shingle in place for a new roof. By the time I put my ladder away and got back into the house, they were moving in again. It was really gratifying. I hope to do a better job when I have more time after the nesting season. Hopefully, this will hold up until then.
