Bluebird Update
On Sunday, Russ and I, accompanied by our almost six month old poodle puppy, Zasu, and my almost six year old grandsons, Avery and Nikolas, checked on and cleaned the thirteen bluebird boxes at Sokol Blosser. Russ did the cleaning; I made notes on the box locations and numbers; Zasu scampered around; the twins watched and asked questions. Russ cleaned out numerous wasp nests and wasps and then rubbed candle wax on the inside roof of the birdhouse to prevent the wasps from building future nests. During time we were out, it rained, snowed and was sunny. Thankfully, we missed the hail that later covered the ground like miniature moth balls. No sign of nests yet, but the houses are now ready. The bluebirds are out looking and I hope our houses will be just right for them.
