Six
of eleven bluebird nest boxes are up and ready for action. Bluebirds have
already begun building nests in two of them, and two more had a few pine
needles and bits of grass in them. Pennsylvania
sedge and corydalis were in bloom in the Como Woodland Outdoor Classroom. City
employees were just about to burn the shortgrass prairie in the woodland, since
wind conditions were right. They promised to protect the empty nest box located
in the middle of that prairie.
