Eastern Bluebird Babies (midwest.social)

Phone photo of an group of bluebird young. Bluebirds have kept control of one of our nest boxes for about a month now and it's great to see a fruitful result!

I try to leave them alone so this is the first time I've peeked in there.

Give CopyQ a try. Open source, cross platform clipboard manager with tons of features.

One example option is being able to only ever paste plain text. It also has lots of programming hooks, I have a few for doing things like converting a line-feed delimited list into one delimited by commas and quoting the values.

What kind of finch is she?

I'd tip out the pot and gently separate the saplings. Hopefully they're not too entangled. Go ahead and replant in the ground with the same potting soil, taking care to make the holes deep enough for the tap roots. They're long!

We have the Brother HL-L3230CDW and are happy with it. Works fine with inexpensive toner cartridges from Amazon.

What was your project?

Yep FB is the way to go for local sales. I'm in a large metro area and exclusively use it.

He still does Red Meat?? That was my favorite part of the reading the (paper issues of) Onion way back in the day.

What was it for you as a kid?

[-] DavidP@midwest.social 6 points 8 months ago

Pinky and ring finger for me too!

That just refers to the source code. How instances operate is a separate thing.

Never. Bluetooth headphones and connectivity in the car.

Read the book, it's good as well.

I know this isn't strictly about birding but who doesn't like Eastern Bluebirds?

So this spring I put up two bluebird nest boxes (X-Box design on EMT posts) only to have the bluebirds repeatedly evicted by house sparrows.

A few times I ready about using fishing line to deter the house sparrows, and it has actually worked! I attached two horizontal beams to the tops of the houses and then hung monofilament weighted with large hex nuts.

That was about six weeks ago and now we have a bluebird family in one and house wrens in the other.

Edit - on my lappy so I'll post some links
