Unpredictable Nature

Tweet

Every day I enjoy nature in my yard and garden. Especially this time of the year. The bluebirds arrived awhile back. I have their house up for them. But as I have written before, the sparrows (ratbirds) are an evil enemy. They are building rat nests, as they are ratbirds, and I am cleaning them out 2-3 a day. The bluebirds will not build in a dirty house. That is why I am vigilant at keeping it clean for them. Photo ©CarolDM Today, the pair of bluebirds showed up again, looking very interested. They were even chasing the sparrows away. This is what needs to happen. The bluebirds need to keep them away from the house. So I got all excited. Now the bluebirds are gone again. And the ratbirds are back. So I just went out, cleaned the rat nest out and left the door open. When I see the bluebirds return I will go back out and close the door, and start all over. Very frustrating. I do this every year but this year seems worse for some reason. The ratbirds are really trying my patience. Captured this bluebird photo before the ratbirds showed up. This is why I do this, it brings such joy and happiness to see these bluebirds in Dustin's garden. Hope you all have a great day.
