Visitors

Every spring I have four legged visitors to my feeding stations. This year is no exception. Two raccoons turned up to help clean up the seed that has fallen on the ground.

Grey Squirrel Declared Persona non grata

I was really excited to see the Grey Squirrel at my bird feeder a couple of weeks ago. It has been five years since I’ve seen a squirrel at my feeder. The euphoria was short lived and I now understand why my brother-in-law has declared war on them. He was on my feeder when I woke up this morning. We were having yet another snowstorm. He looked very comfortable on the feeder so I let him eat for a while before opening the window and hollering at him. Later in the morning while I was photographing birds I noticed that my feeder looked a little strange. Upon closer examination I noticed that the squirrel had started tearing apart my feeder. A state of war has now been declared!
