I feel it is to soon to bring people back together for any size group for any type of gathering. It is way to soon to let our guard down.
In this morning's issue of the MDJ front page Cobb County names parks to reopen this Saturday April 25th, please read the guidelines for those of you who plan on visiting one of the PARKS.
In honor of EARTH DAY on Wednesday the 22nd: Our TREE of LIFE is looking good and staying strong.
One hundred-eighty four year old
Southern Red Oak.
The Bluebirds are very busy with nesting, feeding
and taking care of their young.

I was able to get an exemption from PARK'S to check boxes and fill feeders with dried mealworms for a period of three hours, once a week during the COVID-19 and PARK'S being closed. Thank you PARKS! As of the completion of checking NestBoxes for this week!

Please keep in mind that some of the NestBox locations are such that we can't check them because of the COVID-19, such as schools, senior community living locations.
