I like watching what comes to the feeder. I love it when the squirrels come.... The squirrels and my pellets have some bonding to do. But while I am waiting, I throw some feed out on the deck railing and watch what comes to it. The squirrels dare not come that close to the house. Here is a pic of some cardinals that visit the feeder regularly. Anybody else watch the feeder and take pics of the critters that visit? I find it fun.

I look out my backdoor and watch the birds and tree rats go to my neighbors feeder.BUT THE DAM* BEARS COME FROM SPRING TO EARLY WINTER!

But the birds are nice to watch.

We have a feeder right out our kitchen window, within about 2 feet from the glass. The only 2 birds that are using it are a couple of smart finches. I think they are keeping the feeder a secret, being the only birds we have seen there. We live at the top of the river bluff and see a lot of squirrels, birds (including eagles) and wildlife around the house. Last night I had a big coyote in our back yard while my Basset pup and 1 yr. old mixed female basset/hound were chained out. I think I had better keep a close eye on my dogs and hungry 'yotes.

GET THE YOTE! USE THE BOW! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!

I'd shoot that dam*n yote next tme it shows up.I'd do it to make sure it doesn't get your pups.

I'm worried about it, too. I went out the back door to bring in the chained up dogs and spotted the big 'yote just a few feet away from the 1 year old female pup. The 5 month old Bassett pup was right by the other pup. I didn't see any other coyotes, but the one I saw was a huge one, probably a male. I will use something good and lethal on him if I see him again, neighbors or not. Our County Attorney lives right next door and is a friend of mine, so I don't expect any problems if I have to shoot a coyote to protect my pups, if it is clearly going to harm them. We raised a coyote and had her for almost 8 years. She got really big and interacted readily with the neighbor dogs. You remember Coco, henry? A large male coyote or a pack would have other ideas, mainly killing dogs and probably eating them.
