For the first time this year I noticed California Towhees (Pipilo crissalis)
frequenting my flats of bulb seedlings. For various reasons, I put off doing
anything about it, and I may have lost some Romuleas and Fritillarias as a
result. Eventually I covered my flats with hardware cloth (also known as rat
wire, a metal mesh with 1/4 inch apertures), which keeps short-billed birds
out at least. No clams yet, though an owl or hawk once left us half a rat.
Best,

Calochortus umbellatus and an apparently confused Kniphofia "Christmas
cheer" flowering now.

....So now I need not only
a crow-dropping-clams-proof coldframe, it needs to be rodent and bird
proof too.
