There is a WWII Veterans reunion on the 12th and a 50th Girl Scout Jamboree reunion on the 16th that we have been asked to help with. We also have a couple of extra projects that we'll be working on for a while. There's no hurry to get back to Texas! We still have 2 weekends full of interpretation programs too. It's been a fast summer!Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04705192004526792158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767944521225965268.post-15118094497814831592015-08-26T10:45:54.648-05:002015-08-26T10:45:54.648-05:00Great post.

It's hard to believe weasels can wipe out complete families but are so darn cute.<br /> The smoke here has been pretty bad at times also. Yesterday we could finally see the mountains which are pretty close by. When are you heading out? We plan to pull out Monday and head toward the Black Hills and then south taking our time. <br />VirginiaVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149987429026327323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767944521225965268.post-53481495139150327462015-08-26T09:47:53.515-05:002015-08-26T09:47:53.515-05:00We did have a bear tear down 2 houses this year bu...We did have a bear tear down 2 houses this year but normally they aren't a problem. We don't have near the bear population that you do! I think our main predators are weasels. They get in the boxes and eat the eggs. We still have a lot of smoke from surrounding fires but there are no fires (at this time) in the immediate area.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04705192004526792158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767944521225965268.post-87632242250578097622015-08-25T13:09:45.194-05:002015-08-25T13:09:45.194-05:00You can put bluebird boxes on poles?

As of today there are 46 to clean out for next year and 4 more to put up... all, if inhabited, by tree swallows. Hope the fire situation is over soon and all critters, whether 2 legged, 4 legged or winged, survive.The Odd Essayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168404014947652773noreply@blogger.com
