A reminder that it is illegal to disturb nesting birds, or to destroy their nests. There is so much illegal tree cutting (“trimming”) that goes on this time of year, and a lot of it (even the legal variety) violates this law. Many birds also nest on the ground and in shrubs, even small ones. I once found a bird’s nest in a potted shrub in an area with a fair amount of traffic; between diminishing habitat, pesticides, and roaming cats, wild birds have a hard enough time surviving as it is without adding uninformed and overzealous landscapers to the mix.

Yes, I know it’s every other week, but their webpage

said April 21 and 28 (for several days, it’s one of my daily visits). Until now – it seems to have been corrected since I last checked, so thanks.

Sorry, comment time is over.
