I am about to throw in the towel with the bird feeders! Between the deer, the huge crows that threaten to carry me off every time I am outside, and now the squirrels I am going through birdseed like I am Fleet and Farm! Good golly it is nuts! Today I caught the culprit who emptied my feeder overnight I think. Cute and very brave–brave enough that I walked right up to him and snapped his picture while he was snacking. He finally left after I talked to him for awhile and relocated….to the front feeders!!! Good grief. He ran before I could get a good picture outside but I did catch him through the window (hence the screen in the picture). Now I know there are baffles you can buy and all but I guess I just don’t have good places to put feeders in this yard that would allow me to make use of those. So for now I guess I will limit how much seed I put out and enjoy the birds when they are there and just go with it. I know the squirrels and deer are hungry too……And yesterday I had a pheasant in my yard……so I guess I will just feed all of God’s creatures!!! Gotta love em!
