Here they will not eat from the feeders.<br />Yesterday morning early I had a very unwelcome visitor (interloper) at one of my sunflower feeders. It looked like I had covered the feeder with a black cloth. I grabbed the binoculars and there was a racoon wrapped around the feeder just eating away. The very idea!! I raised the window and scared him away. Now I am bringing the feeders in at night. Occasionally I turn on the outside light at night and see a skunk on the ground under the feeders. I don't care for them either! That's wildlife in the country.<br />Farm Gal in VAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-67166923150715935712015-03-16T20:37:15.240-04:002015-03-16T20:37:15.240-04:00The old leaves...those oak leaves do hang on...mak...The old leaves...those oak leaves do hang on...make a beautiful backdrop for the birds.

From my upstairs window today I saw a hawk land in a pine tree but he flew off before I could get my camera out. Maybe I'll have to start packing the camera around the house like I do when I'm out for a walk. Or maybe not.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-24037911597166895652015-03-16T14:34:43.227-04:002015-03-16T14:34:43.227-04:00I'm so jealous of your beautiful birds. your p...I'm so jealous of your beautiful birds. your photos were fabulous. I know the Starling well from England , but here in France where I live we only have them now & again. We have a lot of Buzzards , not sure if that's why they don't hang around here..

It's 8am here and I'm heading out to fill the feeders. Yesterday, they cleaned up everything as we had another snow storm. Today, it is warmer and dryer. Hope to get some photos.

I have sweet little tiny birds and some monstrously large Blue Jays and a Robin or two ... not to mention the Hawk that hovers some days and the ever present very noisy crows. I admit to disturbing the natural way of things by saving a little bitty bird from a hawk and I am not sorry. That is the bird story from my house .. NY .. buried in snow ... still.Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.com
