Draft post from May 2

Bluebirds are fledging, we found out as any household member outside got dive bombed by bluebirds. Carrie and Marlowe were kept in while the birds seemed on the offence in the back, just in case. I saw flutterings out the front window, watched Christine go out and get bombed, and watched the fluttering go towards the garden -- and then get caught in the fence? I went out and  Christine stood near,  getting all the attacks, and gently removed the fledgling from between the rabbit fence and deer fence. So happy with the story this year. I love our carnivores but i hate when they act on their nature.

ACK!! especially with bluebirds!
glad they're OK

Me too. Previous years the Carrie and Marlowe were a little more successful. Now i understand the parent bird behavior and can react more promptly.

(I envy you the bluebirds, though.)

I think the woodpeckers do the residential construction for them.

Ain't nature grand?
