I love birds. I don't feed them though, because I have two cats that live outside and don't want them to be dinner. I see hawks every day on the way home--they are wonderful. Saw one the other day catch a grackle in mid-air.
At the feeder today

I placed it in a rather open area, but that was before we cleared out a lot of underbrush. Maybe I'll try again.
I love bird watching, too. I stopped feeding birds in GA because I got paranoid about bird flu. But I miss watching them. Maybe I'll start feeding them again.
part 1: i put up a small wire fence around the base of the feeders - it keeps out my cats and makes the birds feel more secure (i assume they do, anyway)
part 2: can't think of a better end for a grackle - they are a nuisance!
grackles! :angry: They think they're birds too...
.
but are obviously evil.
and tonight, in the driving snowstorm, i have a RACCOON eating from the wildlife feeder. good thing i took in the suet!
1:I might try this, BA, thanks.
2:
They ARE, aren't they?!!grackles! :angry: They think they're birds too...

11" of snow on the ground, with another heavy band on the way - abouut 2" more!
went out to the feeders this morning, and cleared a space for some ground feeding. thank goodness for the heated birdbath! today EVERYONE (minus the hawk) is at the feeders - they absolutely freak when it snows! beautiful to watch, though.
