There are bluebird houses you can buy that have a side door. There is a piece of clear plastic to keep the nest from falling out when you open this door .... you can see what is going on & check out the babies. Evidently, bluebirds will tolerate this if it’s not too frequent. My dad will be 90 in a few months ... he LOVES the bluebirds & watching them from the kitchen window. I think for his next birthday, we’ll be buying him a bluebird box with a ‘window’ to replace the one on the fence closest to the house. I’ll enjoy it too because sometimes we see the male/female hanging around the box & we’re not quite sure what is going on inside.
Last year, we happened to be watching at the very moment when the young bluebirds fledged. They were sitting on the fence (lowest board) & following their parents around for a couple of days, hanging out in the cedar trees nearby when they could fly a little better. They were SO much fun to watch. This year, we also had baby skunks in the back field ... a couple of years before, a red fox raised a litter in an old groundhog hole at the back of the barn. There is nothing like good old Mother Nature to take your mind off the ills of the world. :-)
We should replace mormon worry with muslim worry.
I’m serious.
And so are they.
About how much dynamite Butch?
I wonder if they are building mosques in Mexico as well?
Exactly two different world there.
At least 10 vests worth! Just tell them it is really a Synagogue.
Pray for America
A big truckload should do......
Gotcha but 3,700 is along way from the 7 million over here.....
I thought $oro$ owned Progressive. Either way it was a capitalistic idea that saves people tons of $$.
Breed like rabbits. Plus O and Hillary have relocated scads of “refugees” from Somalia, Iraq and anywhere else they come from to escape “oppression”.
Even Bambi’s aunt has belatedly cried for political asylum from the horrific conditions in Kenya where someone might be mean to her if she is sent back.
How many in Canada?
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
I’ve got just under 20 acres of land and I have blue bird houses all over. No sparrows, just blue birds! I’d say I had at least 10 blue bird families this Spring.
The mockingbirds are at perpetual war with the blue birds and will even go into the nesting boxes and try to kill the babies. I’ve had to dispatch a few overly agressive mockers with my ole’ swee’ pea 22 rifle. The mockers are VERY intelligent, and know when I bring ole’ swee’ pea out, they better settle down and fly away! I have not had to shoot a mocker in at least a decade. They seem to know me and know I will get serious.
Ewwww... Is that a scene from Barney’s wedding party?
So I got some time and I am reminded of the story of the exploding possums.
I had been home from the hospital for heart bypass maybe two/three days. I was recovering, moving slow, but I could move. I wanted badly to get back to my morning exercises but at that time could just kind of shuffle around my track.
It all started the night before. Dog let out to pee, she goes nuts, barking, chasing something in the very dark yard. We could not see what she went after but this happens from time to time. Could be a fox, maybe a skunk as in your case. We don’t know cause dog chases and it’s gone.
That next morning I was excited, ready to begin my morning exercise routine, to return to life before bypass. My mother-in-law, that liberal lady I described upthread, she’s all in a twitter because she thinks I should not get up and about so soon.
Yet in the hospital they had me walking the halls the day of my operation and come on, first thing they want is to get you up and moving.
My mother-in-law, she’s a liberal. They think with their emotions. She didn’t want her son not to have a wife so she was over-protective of me.
So I go out, dog runs and does her first thing in the morning pee thing, sniffing the yard for bear poop, that sort of thing. I look around, take a deep breath, smile. Finally I am outdoors, I am alive, all is well.
I look down.
There is a dead baby possum at my feet. Before my scream could come out I look around. There are dead baby possums all over the yard, hundreds of them.
Well it turned out only to be about eight or so but there they were, dead hairless baby possums all over the yard.
Mind, unaffected by the bypass, begins to process. I supposed that all the barking and running of dog the prior night was after these baby possums’ mother. SHE got out of there but evidently the whole bundle of them hanging on her back fell off and over the night died from....exposure I guess, or whatever baby possums die of.
Quickly I realize I must keep dog away from dead baby possums as, well I don’t know what she’d do, frankly.
I “run “ into the house as fast as a recovering heart bypass patient can, grab a plastic grocery bag and my gauntlet garden gloves. I hurry back out and begin scooping all the dead possums in my grocery sack, minding dog still busy sniffing for bear poop in yard parts afar.
I got all the baby possums in the bag without dog suspecting a thing.
Husband tells mother-in-law later of the story and she gets all in a sniff, says I could die of post-operative infection or some such.
Heh.
Hmmmm.
Mockers....not supposed to shoot ‘em.
Pretend they’re starlings I guess.
There are a lot of birds that are nest robbers. Blue Jays are notorious for it.
Those precious cardinals that nested in my serviceberry bush, they had a helluva time getting their youngsters fledged. The Blue Jays swooped down and were ready to kill those red babies trying to get out of that nest.
In one instance I didn’t see the attacking Blue Jay but I did see a mighty protective red cardinal dad swoop down out of the sky and I saw one blue jay fly off yelling to its breathren, that angry cardinals were all about.
I was sitting on my porch and caught this action even as quick as it happened. I stood up and did the only thing I could do:
I cheered and I screamed and I sang my praises to the cardinal, I shouted to the heavens that he should beat the dickens out of the blue jays.
I looked for all my neighbors, like some kind of nut yelling at an empty sky.
I liked it though.
Blue Jays however, scream out a warning when there’s a hawk around. Blue Jays are renowned for their warnings and birds know to get back when they begin their scream. They also scream at sneaky snakes. In their way they are just as protective of wildlife as they are nest robbers.
It’s nature, and there’s a reason these critters do things. Might not make sense to us but the evolution has gone like it has for a reason and even us mighty humans might not quite get it.
I’m glad you asked that. Probably over a Million Muslims in the Plaid shirt tundra. I’ll have to enroll you guys in my free Wiki tutorial:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Canada
In 2001 there were 579,740
in 2006 there were 0.8 Million (see how they shift the paradigm to confise us? Like NASA going from fete to meters?)
In 2010 PEW research says .9 million [and these are only the ones who wish to be found and counted].
So in 2012 they should easily exceed 1,000,000 [probably much more] *(see my advisory above under codeword “breed like rabbits”)
Man! You will hit 300 today if you burp.
300!
