Nature's critters are determined to survive

[TonyR]

The bluebird box has been empty since late summer except for an occasional curious visitor. But after the temps got down to 4.8 F on Thursday, the bluebirds decided to stay warm Friday night and began to gather inside the box about 4 PM. They dispersed on Saturday, Christmas Eve morning. Best I can tell, there was about 8, stacked in like firewood to stay warm.

Nature WILL survive....
