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!

Leave a commentI remember the early days of trying to lure the birds into my yard with the squirrels being like pigs. What I ended up doing . . . putting feeders all over the yard so there was plenty for all.
The funniest thing I did was put out an old dining room table, bought some dishes at a yard sale and actually set the table for the animals. They soon learned to co-exist . . . I had forgotten about that! I have photos of them somewhere that I need to post 🙂
Wait til he tells his friends . . .

Thanks for stopping by, Gina! Loved the idea of the setting the table for the critters–doubt my neighbors would think that was too appropriate, tho….they are kind of particular…..enough said! LOL Gonna check out your blogs!!! Thanks again!
