New Bird Feeder



New Feeder is up and open for feeding frenzy

I just replaced the old junk test Bird Feeder with a newer one painted for looks.

The sun is over the roof so it is impossible to get a picture on the outside looking at it with the window behind it today.

This one is inside looking through the screen, sorry.

It is hanging over our kitchen window.

I was worried about our song birds finding it and if they would give it a try, our crazy birds (we call the Nuthatch, Sparrows, Finch and Chickadees crazy because they come get one seed fly to a tree eat it and fly back 15 to 20's at each feeding, screaming while in flight)?

Darn we have to watch this go on all day long. :-)

No problem, as soon as I arrived inside, took the picture and was transferring over to the computed, all of the song birds came calling.

I installed a new thicker pole 7/8's PVC, it is 4' long.

The hooks drops down 12" to the upside down painted bucket with a painted Greek Yogurt cup inside that is real unstable to stand on for my buddy the squirrel.

I painted them two days ago.

Another 15" down to my two new feeder holder for the pigs, I mean birds.

Two water jugs with only one side cut open high enough for seeds, wide enough for the birds to feel safe while eating and the squirrel cannot get in from the back.

We get to watch from the kitchen through the window and through the back side of the jugs, a win, win all around because the old bird feeders are far away hanging as a squirrel feeder.

Oh I almost forgot about the guaranteed to work squirrel proof bird feeder that Mother-in Law bought me last year, NOT.

It took NoTail 5 minute to find and feed off of it.

I cut it into pieces to make a landing for the Blue jays, Cardinals, Doves, and our one crow George.

The rest of the birds should be back after the cold weather.

Beauty is in the eyes of the Beholder


Well if this is correct I give you my beauty!
We love the tree and the Wood Peckers

Pileated Woodpecker
Came home from the V.A. doctor's appointment this morning, no,
the other appointment I had to give some blood and things.
This one was uneventful except for being old, remarks are not required, just a little cold.
This was on what is left to a tree  looking out the kitchen window. Hay it’s still alive.
We have two families of these big guy’s that’s why the tree looks like this.
As long as it is still capable of blooming it must stay and it is a never ending battle when one wishes to protect both bird and tree!
I did have my sights on a much better photo only poor Breanna just could not keep it together long enough for the camera, she, once again went spastic on me!

Get your pets inside!


If we could only learn to loved each other half as much as our pets love us, what a great world we would be living in?
If it's too cold for you it's too cold for your pets Bring them inside.
This is a photo found going around Facebook, it looks real bad for any pet or people for that matter.
I was so upset when first seeing this I wanted to join a posse looking for and tying up the owner/owners in a walk in freezer until you would need an ice pick to free them!
Then I remember Luke, "may he rest in peace".
No, my pal Luke just got old one day.
Luke lived most of his life in L. A. California, until I stole him, his sister and his pet (Donna) to New England.
The first snow that year dumped 18" in my yard.
After a lot of pleading we got him to go do his thing out in the snow.
Once Luke found snow it would take some dog cookies and a lot of begging to get him back into the nice warm house.
Zoe on the other hand hates snow.



Breanna is in Florida and never see's snow?

She hates water!


Now if this storm ever made it down to central Florida, few if any pets would survive!
I think that a dog in Florida is just for hunting Deer or for yard security, because few if any get inside of anyplace no matter what the weather.
It can get extremely hot and sometimes good and cold in central Florida, day or night, pets are outside!
We, on the other hand are on the other side of the spectrum, if Breanna is not welcome neither is our money!
Shopping (except for food) and eating out while on the run, if you do not except Breanna, we do not except you!

The attack of the Snow Birds!


Yesterday we were attacked by our Snow Birds once again
and loved every second of it.
Not so sure how happy this made our native birds?
Our two birdbaths and six bird feeders were the yearly battlefield and poor Breanna is exhausted today from all of the excitement.
She's an Airedale she will survive!
