Meantime, if you can round up the local racoons, they'll tear into it and have a feast, they love those things. Not kidding! Coons will eat every last one of them, even dead ones.
And FG, you're right, don't risk it! After an attack from a batch of 'em that left me with 225 known hits, I was helpless for days, and I'm not allergic!

They can have the whole limb. We have 'coons in the neighborhood and so far they haven't found this nest! It's about 15' up in the tree! I think the 'coons are more interested in the new hatches of Quail. We also have 2 new Red Fox dens with kits as well. They are so cute. One den has 4 kits and I think the other pair has at least 2.
We've also spotted 3 Mule Deer bucks who've made a home in our neighbor's pasture. 2 of them are at least 4 points and the other one is a bit bigger. Haven't been able to count the points on him yet, but they are nice sized bucks. Still in velvet. They are beautiful. He was going to mow his pasture but decided to leave the grass for the deer! Nice guy!
Here's a picture of the nest. I didn't venture tooooooo close!
