Many Hermit Thrushes established their second nests this season.

The four-legged, silent marauders mow down your azaleas and roses, then decimate your hosta beds. A stand of white birch is chewed to bits and disappears overnight. Canadian geese camp on your lawn, leaving their nasty deposits. A murder of crows commandeers your pine trees for their noisy nurseries. You can fight back, or you can move over. You are in their wildlife corridor.
