Checked on my nest box of Tufted Titmouse chicks this morning, only to find them all dead. Not sure what killed them, only thing I can figure is that the heat or parasites got them.
As fortune would have it, our resident black rat snake was spotted a few yards away by my wife as he was hunting, so I laid the nest on a stump and sure enough, in 10 minutes time he had found it and had himself a free chicken dinner!
