Black-capped chickadee nest cavity

This is an incomplete nest cavity made by a chickadee. On this birch log, there are two holes that have been partly excavated. In this one you can feel down about an inch, but then the hole ends. Clearly, the birds decided to go elsewhere. Standing dead birch trees are perfect spots for chickadees to nest in and nest in them, they do!
