|
|
In an unfortunate turn of events, the first nesting attempt for bluebirds behind the Game Commission’s Harrisburg headquarters appears to have lost out to nature. What made this loss different from most is that it all played out in full view of those who tuned into the Game Commission’s website.

Ground-nesting mammals, such as cottontail rabbits, also are affected by extremely wet conditions.
