something to add to the rcd. On the 14th or the 15th, I opened the bluebird box----5 beautiful slightly shiny blue eggs. About then, we've had a visit or two by bears, maybe the same one. plainly, these poor animals are starving. also we are being visited regularly by a small raccoon. we can follow the local instructions and not provide food for the bear, but not the raccoon.
the bluebirds have naturally been v. busy. Five mouths to feed---so I have put out on a regular sched. some of the worms I've had now in the fridge for several wks. I have seen one or the other parent go directly from the worm tray into the box, so i'm reassured they are being helped.
the food situation for wild animals is not good. we are currently in a rather severe drought, spring plants were burned by a serious late frost.

today=May 15th. yesterday our youngest chile's birfday (Oprah talk). This a.m. went into the box (house) to check, & the bluebirds have five beautiful eggs. I'm hoping they all make it thru but if they do, it will get crowded in there. the parents must like the location, etc,
God bless 'em.
God bless 'em.
