I cleaned out all my birdhouses last week and have seen the chicadees already looking inside. I haven't put out any new ones as I have plenty already around the place. I have found the birds here like the kinds that are mounted so that they are more sturdy and have always ignored any that just hang and sway.
I have birdbird type house but have never seen a bluebird. And then I also have wren/chicadee houses with the small entrance holes. I have a pair of chicadees nesting each spring now for at least seven years and I also have a nesting pair of house wrens.
