Lots of activity this morning...orioles, rose breasted grosbeaks, hummers, catbirds, finches, etc. The only elusive feeder bird for me has been bluebirds. It's weird, I never see the Orioles around here but have all the others you mentioned. We also don't have birdfeeders out this year because of the herds of bears wandering around. Every neighbor has had their feeders taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near the bird variety here that's being reported upthread, though the most blue jays we've seen there. Red squirrels doing the high-wire act, too.

Last week I had the dog outside and there was a group of maybe a dozen blue jays in a tree shrieking at us. Such a racket. I hate those birds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our dogs have kept the coons away, but those winged robbers ate more corn than we did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then do away with coal fired power plants, shut it down and bull doze the whole thing. What do they care it’s not their $. I thought there was a power shortage in New England too......

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Anyone familiar with MA vehicle inspection laws? My car failed inspection today for a blown out bulb running light, and worn tires. The guy said my car was “grounded” and that it would basically be illegal to drive it home. He said I could have it towed or leave it to be fixed. What happened to 60 days with a rejection sticker?

If it failed due to emissions you could drive it and get it fixed. I could def be wrong though red R....black R is emissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tires make it “unsafe”, therefore it cannot be driven. I knew the tires prob wouldn’t pass, but worth a shot anyway. Is what it is... $900 and change for new tires to be put on and I’ll have it back and passes tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have bluebirds at my feeders; they like the mealworms (dead) that Lowes sells locally down here. First pair of nesting bluebirds in our yard has fledglings that are already sticking there heads out of the box. This brood will likely be on their own within another week or 10 days... Usually they will start another brood by mid-June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
