<\/span>This photo, taken several years ago at the tree farm,
\nreminds me that everything wants to grow UP^ <\/span><\/h5>\n

… Since 2010 the loblolly pine trees have gone from being boot\/ankle-high to now towering well overhead. The name of the tree farm for the first ten years was BBG (Blue Bird Gulch). We worked hard making nesting boxes, placing them in the appropriate places, kept them clean, protected from predators as best we could. We enjoyed the many bluebird families that found the open meadow edge space favorable for raising their broods. <\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Three months after taking on the care of our fifty clear cut acres …
\n<\/span>we place12\u00a0 bluebird boxes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And then things changed.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Within five years the snakes and then the bears learned that all they need to do is wait and they will have snack food abounding. When the bear(s) started pulling the front off of several nest boxes we realized that the environment had evolved and the young forest had new inhabitants to respect. <\/span><\/h4>\n

This November, BBG: Blue Bird Gulch morphed and the BBG now stands for Black Bear Glen. Here is one of many captures from the wildlife camera that is attached to our cabin’s east porch post.<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/h4>\n

The bears are neighbors. We are on their circuit because they have found food (baby birds as well as birdseed) on our fifty acres which is surrounded by hundreds of acres of pine and hardwood forest. We can expect that they will return.<\/span><\/h4>\n
