Playing with a cheap, new animal cam, I discover we had a visitor evening before last. Some video (not shown here) revealed that he approached the garage twice but backed off both times in apprehension. Not sure why.

Our front door tenants have three week-old chicks. You can see a blue egg behind them -- never hatched.

Once they fledge, we are removing the wreath for good to prevent Mother Robin from returning for a third clutch. We need our front door to remove some furniture (hard to find a taker during this pandemic) so we can finally take delivery of new furniture we bought many months ago.

Ambled with Susan around the pond at Stratton Brook SP. Very few other people there. Wonderfully quiet and we stopped often to listen to the frogs, birds, breeze in the trees and the babbling brook. Watched geese gliding low across the placid pond and red wing black birds in the pines. Under a clear blue sky in moderate temperature, it doesn’t get better than this.

It occurred to me that a wifi endoscope in my workshop might serve as a bird cam to watch the second clutch of robins now incubating in our front door wreath. It works! But don't expect streaming.

Something that I have never seen before. While ambulating in one of our favorite empty office park parking lots with Susan, a pair of young ladies were doing windsprints against the wind with small parachutes tied to their waists. Resistance training, I suppose.

New tenants.

A few days after our robins fledged and gave up their lease on our front door wreath, we brought in ServePro to clean up the mess and restore the wreath (not hard, the nest popped right off, apparently connected to the wreath by mere gravity).

Three days after rehanging the wreath, it appears that we may have new tenants.



They've already messed the place up:
