I was surprised to see a tree swallow swoop in and fly around my swallow nest box. It seems early! Luckily, the boxes are cleaned out. I imagine it’ll be a while before he’s back.
I’ve also been happy to see pushed his gathering nesting material from my garden! I’ve never had pushed it’s nest here.

Glad to see the AOS finally came to its senses and split Pushed His and Pushed It's. They are hard to separate but once you study their behavior a while, and hear their vocalizations, clearly two species. You are lucky to have both in your yard.

Umm, excuse me for being totally uninformed, but in case I'm not the only one, can someone please tell me what you're talking about when you say "pushed his" and "pushed its" I haven't a clue!

I'll take a shot at an ID. A lone pushed it was nibbling on something tasty in the yard the other day. With their typical flocking behavior, I suspected pairing off for the breeding season was underway. But then again, maybe it was just temporarily separated from comrades? eBird checklist below

Acckkk! Dang it!! I didn’t realize that Siri changed bushtits to pushed its! Of course I’ve made much worse errors along this line in the past.
I have thought it was interesting that I’ve had just one or two bushtits in my yard where I normally would have a little flock of them come through in the morning. I was really happy to see the bushtit pull material out of the baseball size ball of nesting materials that I got at wild birds Unlimited several years ago. I’ve never seen anyone use it before! I think the secret was hiding it down in my lilac bush instead of having it in full view.

Deb,
I'm glad you cleared that up. I couldn't figure out what you really meant. I did get Dave's tongue in cheek post.
Remember the Roadrunner 'plucking' it's feathers post years ago? That post wasn't proofread either.

Yes, the whole “plucking its feathers “was the error I referenced in the email. The Siri error that will live on in infamy!
