Laura, Looks like winter is finally going to be on its way over beginning in the next week or so. I know that we have enough snow in our backyard that it will take some very high temps to get it all melted by the end of April. BTW, I like your reports on your animals and birds in the yard. We have three or four squirrels in our back yard that we feed all winter. But they do not tease the dogs, they run like everything. We also have three rabbits that we feed, and they too don’t hang around when the dogs are out. One of the rabbits has its home in our neighbor’s yard, under their patio. We feed about 20 or so Asian doves, and 30-40 smaller birds. But it is hard for them to eat, because there are a couple of hawks that hang around. You should see how they eat it up when the hawks are not present. The best to you and Darwin, and your health problems. Ray We have about 12 Eurasian Collard Doves, a couple of chickadees, three different kinds of woodpeckers, two different kinds of nuthatches, 4 blue jays, 12 Starlings, 1 or 2 Juncos, 100 sparrows, at least 6 squirrels and 2 or 3 bunnies. One day we saw a hawk, but it was only there a couple of minutes, and we haven’t seen it since. Every once in awhile a bird shows up that we have never seen before. Our feeders are in front of our dining room window, so when we eat, we also watch the birds. (Laura) |
