Video of Brown Anole Lizard Staking his Claim to a Woodpeckers Nest Box
Video of the same nest box being inspected by a Red-Bellied Woodpecker
There is just something inviting about bird nest boxes - squirrels, rats, snakes, lizards, bees and of course birds love them . The woodpecker box has already been checked out by a male woodpecker with the intention no doubt of nesting there later this spring. A Brown Anole has recently claimed squatters rights to the box and while possession may be nine tenths of the law I have a feeling that the woodpecker just may eat this lizard if it finds him in the nest box the next time he stops by. The nest boxes are choice real estate and always seem to be a focal point for activity.
We're looking forward to seeing little woodpeckers in there this spring.
