We now have four raccoons and one less squirrel. The critter that was stealing bird food had some little ones to feed. Soon as the babes got old enough to move them, mama raccoon evicted a squirrel from its nest—which is located about 40' up a tulip poplar—and moved her family in. To add injury to insult, she killed and ate the squirrel.................................................
When all the baby Robins died and the adults abandoned the nest, Carolyn removed it from the speaker. If she had left it alone, all would have been fine, because the birds would have to look somewhere else for a nest site. Instead, they rebuilt the nest on the same speaker, and have started hatching eggs. I hope this brood does better than the last, but with the heat against the porch roof, it is in doubt.
