I had a very strange and sad find today.
One of my neighbors had set out a sticky trap for mice. This was in the
form of a small, rectangular cardboard box. It was open at both ends with the
glue along the bottom interior, and measured about 1-1/2" high x 3" wide x
6" long.
Two Carolina Wrens had apparently entered the trap - one from each end, and
gotten stuck. Both birds had died.
I hate to make a post like this, but wanted others to be aware of the
potential avian dangers of these types of traps.
