Daughter has been monitoring her dormouse site today and it’s looking like it could be very important for these scarce creatures. She put up 50 nestboxes in the spring and 41 had something nest in them... not all dormice. Some had wood mouse nests and some bird nests (bluet-its really like them)

She found 26 dormice today in all stages of the breeding cycle.

This one is about 10 days old and still blind.

This litter of 7 (!) is about 3 weeks old

Hello everybody, I’ve not been very active on the CDR lately, mostly because of college. I love college!

I’ve got a biology moc exam on Monday and oh man, it’s so much easier to revise a subject when you enjoy it:)

Heart-warming words! Great choice of a major, Ben. The CDR is proud of you.

...the kids play [emoji173]️[emoji173]️
Were you working from home?

This was this morning so I was doing yard work... lots of leaves that I dont want to get out of hand and plenty of other household chores that I don’t get to during the week..

Sometimes I do actually work from home.. but I’m a monday thru Friday employee usually:)

Good morning! That long awaited day (for many of us at least ) is finally here.
And I couldn’t be more welcoming . After the work and school hours are done, I want go on weekend strike.. I have one kiddie bday party that I’ll drag myself too and the rest is subject to be canceled. :) it’s opening weekend of archery season for whitetail here but I am not going to be in the woods. I can’t pull my bow back smoothly enough.. ☹️.. still got some nerve issues going on. Surprisingly, I’m not really that upset:)
Are crossbows legal in Texas?

I like biology too and enjoy your studies! It's nice to see you posting a hello though.

Yes they are! Most of the people I know have went that route but it just doesn’t appeal to me yet.. I love archery... so much so that I used to compete in tournaments before my son was born...
That's cool competing. I know what you mean about the crossbow. It kind of takes the difficulty out of bow hunting.
My son bought one and we were target shooting with it. I was amazed of the groupings we were shooting once we got it dialed in.
Here's my granddaughters first deer last year with a crossbow. She is 6 years old. imagejpeg_0_1539640818327.jpg

That is awesome! I think that’s a wonderful thing to get kids involved in. My dad and my brother are always trying to get me to shoot their cross bows... I’ve seen what it can do and it’s pretty impressive... just not my style ... yet
