I’ve actually seen more bluebirds in our yard (specifically at a suet feeder) this winter than the entire I’ve lived in this area. I do wonder if the warming climate has anything to do with the sudden increase in sightings or perhaps I’m just more vigilant of the different birds that happen to be in our neck of the woods. It really is an incredible sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be increasing in numbers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebirds try to establish residency, but end up getting bullied by the sparrows. How do you keep them out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, we don't have too many Bluebirds this spring. None have taken up nesting in the boxes. Perhaps they don't like our new Golden Retriever rescue dog that we got last August?

Most of us locals think it's the best New Haven pizza. Get the Italian Bomb. Bar on Crown St also has great pizza and it also has a brewery inside. They make a mashed potato and bacon pizza that is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sauce tastes ass, and really thin. The pie was embarrassing. Overpriced, and not much better than Red Barron. Last time I went to the Mohegan one it was o.k., but nothing like the original, New Haven shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The waterbury spot has disappointed as well. They’ve burned my pies twice now and overloaded on sauce. Danbury is still good but if you’re gonna go, it’s the original New Haven or bust. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Fun times at large item pickup season - actual pickup set for 5/9: Several years ago, I built a solid doghouse for our rescue yellow Lab mix from Texas. However, she was highly insulted about spending a night outside, certainly fostered by the 60" of snow in her first 6 weeks here. I took the structure to the pickup site at the end of our short road today - was going to put a sign on it, "Never used, wimpy dog" but didn't get the chance. A middle-aged couple were perusing (scavaging) the things folks had put out on our road so I asked if they could use the doghouse. They said yes and it went directly from my little Ranger to their minivan without touching the ground, the wife noting that her ducks would love it. A first for anything I've set out at large item time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
