Birds and butterflies
 

I'm mystified - until this week, my garden was very active with nesting bluebirds and butterflies. Suddenly they're nowhere to be seen. Any insight as to why they've abandoned my established, healthy garden?

change of seasons perhaps. might be nest building time.

A hawk, owl or other predator may be in the area...happens often.

wish I had bluebirds in my backyard. I have plenty of blackbirds and mockingbirds. Plus I do get many gulf fritillary butterflies on my passionflower plant but I think the geckos eat the baby caterpillars. Circle of life.
