[Mnbird] Sad nesting day, Dakota Co

[mary norman]

Sorry to hear!   I suppose it’s hard to put up a baffle around the old oak tree!    And maybe squirrels can access the tree more than one way.   Do you have any bird houses in the yard?   I have several, and I have metal flashing at least 3 feet long on each post so critters like squirrels can’t access.
