I have been seeing these blue things along side the roads and highways here for some time. I thought that they were bird houses. Today I went to check one out up close and they are not bird houses they are insect monitoring traps. They are triangular blue things. Do any of you have these things around you?

No, sorry I have never seen one of these. I tried to Google them and came up empty. Have you called your local government and asked them what the boxes are for?

EBTL look where there are streams or catch basins for rain run off. Yesterday I seen a dead weasel in the parking lot of the Dunham's store that we have here and it has been bothering be ever sense. It just seems so out of place. It is the first weasel that I have ever seen. Could west Nile virus or something like it have killed the weasel Weasels eat birds and live around water.

Anything is possible but I doubt it. If it was West Nile, lots of things would be dead.

It's possible the poor thing may have starved to death. We are having a big problem with wild life at the moment wondering in to towns and cities(Yeah maine has a few of them too) They get hit by cars or just can't find food and starve. The groups here that run the shelters will fetch some wild life too and take them up north to be released and hope to find them a home. Maine is growing, perhaps too big and I'm concerned that with the people that are coming from other parts of the country comes the attitued that mother nature better make room for them. Well she was here first and respect her or else she can get nasty. We have even started seeing Tornatoes in Maine, we never use to see them. At the moment they aren't big but it's only a matter of time

Very well put, indeed mother nature can be cruel, but she also deserves our common respect, something we Humans have lacked for awhile I'm afraid.
