I've been researching and posting about shrews on my blog. I haven't posted on their nesting yet, but they like to nest under stumps and logs. They are voracious eaters and eat a lot of pests. The rotting log, over time, would provide food to many animals looking for grubs in its-birds and mammals alike. You've got such a clean camera shot of it too!<BR/><BR/>Isn't the rain great! Our little lake is full for the first time in four years!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286006224820770646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-862385864391079002008-12-16T10:31:00.000-06:002008-12-16T10:31:00.000-06:00wow, that is some huge (former) tree. the log doe...wow, that is some huge (former) tree. the log does provide habitat indeed. if it's in a path maybe you could just move it rather than completely remove it.<BR/><BR/>the sycamore ball is such a lovely looking thing.limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-29860148188389625212008-12-16T10:12:00.000-06:002008-12-16T10:12:00.000-06:00These shots remind of home.

Last year, when we spent the winter here, I saw a large flock of them in the neighborhood on a tree filled with berries. I'll have to go look to see if they're around. Such pretty birds.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-88404832047883916772008-12-16T08:21:00.000-06:002008-12-16T08:21:00.000-06:00Very nice.
