Flying Squirrel house #3
LEFT: Tufted Timouse bird nest in this box with tiny just-hatched babies found on 5/11/2003. |

LEFT: The only remaining baby Tufted Timouse on 5/22/2003. Even with extensive caulking and an overhanging roof,
the box leaked in the rains which caused the 4 other babies to die from the cold. I replaced the nest
but the next day that baby left. I found it on the ground and placed it in a 16'x24' chicken wire-fenced area that is
partially-roofed and protected from cats and dogs.
As of 5/24 and 3 more rains, the baby is still there and growing because the parents are feeding it. On 6/7 it was at feeder looking healthy and being fed by a parent.
