Squirrel Wars
The squirrel is winning.First there were skirmishes. I tried a string to the bird feeder to yank on and eject the thieving squirrel. The squirrel chewed its way into the bird seed bucket.
Squirrel skirmishes
I haven't gotten around to building a proper squirrel proof feeder. My recent attempt to deter the squirrel is funnier than it is effective. I've got a long string strung from the feeder to inside the window.
Song bird buffet
The attendance at my feeders this year has increased almost four-fold, judging by the bags of black oil seed I've bought this year. I don't begrudge buying them seed, but sheesh, I'm gonna have to try growing a crop of sunflowers, at this rate.
bird feeder sightings
Squirrels, rabbits, birds and voles - It's a regular multi-class buffet around the bird feeder these days.
Time to feed the birds!
This means, what's in the recycling right now I can make a feeder from?It's always fun to see how long it takes for the birds to find it. Under an hour for a full banditry of chickadees to show up.

I may not make a blog post every day, but at least I Insta.
