Originally posted by gatorguy I wish all of mine would stay under the feeders and not on them.
Our Yew gets bigger and our squarrels more athletic - there's no longer a spot that's beyond leaping distance. Had to get a squirrel-proof feeder this year and it doesn't attract as many birds.
Lots of action on the water at Sam Smith yesterday:
Eight Horned (Slavonian) Grebes all told in this flock - the most I've seen at one time.
New wooden nesting rafts have been put out but the only Red-necked Grebe nest at present is a natural one, quite close to the trail.
Most of the Long-tailed Duck have headed back to the Arctic now but this one is still hanging around, moving into its summer colours.
