I have been enjoying using Nestwatch for some time. Their website offers a lot of information and support for anyone who wants to observe birds that are nesting. I’ve been trying to monitor the Eastern Bluebird nests this summer and keep running into dead ends. The first nest was abandoned with six eggs.

I was very disappointed in an on-line tax conference I signed up to watch yesterday evening. I see John Jamieson as a self-serving individual who is so contemptuous of our government that he could care less if it goes bankrupt. I’m aghast that he is proud of making over $200,000 a year and paying a pittance in taxes. Furthermore, for $1,295 he will show you how to do it too.

If you read my earlier posts on bluebirds you will see pictures of several stages in the growing process. But I have been disappointed every time the babies fledged. I’ve never seen it happen and the birds mysteriously disappear as a new nest is begun. I don’t know for sure if they have successfully fledged or not. I know the mocking
