wvgal_dana said...

I sincerely thank everyone for these continued prayers (((((hugs to all of you))))).

Played the bluebird again and George ran to the window. Too bad I can't train him to chase away squirrels and leave the birds alone.

normabyrd said...

LOLLY, ETC---ENJOY!!---wish you had had room for me!!--ho!---Thinking how I envy you all---HAVE FUN--FUN!--lots of pics too!!

stronghunter said...

Good morning, Lolly. It is so good that you can travel and still get online. I have never done that.

SHIRLEY---I have battled SQUIRRELS for 25 yrs!!---It is a losing battle---have never seen a (SQUIRREL PROOF FEEDER)--they couldn't get in!---Even tried the red pepper thing---(lasted 1 day)--
but as my youngest reminded me a few years back--"god made the squirrels too--mom"---ho!

Lynne2 said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning to all my eagle buds!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I hear a dog barking on our cam but no Hidey.

normabyrd said...

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Eagle Eyed Sharon. Sorry they all have gone to the beach. Wouldn't they feel funny if you found someone to dog sit. Then showed up tee hee Sure wished you could have gone too.

wvgal_dana said...

Norma your black donkey is out front.

GA-GIRL said...

Dana ,its Mariah. As in the wind. Still waiting for a hurricane to be named after me. I just dont understand.. its a great name for a hurricane!!!
My husband says the same about the squirrels.. drives me crazy, he says that they need to eat too. I buy special food for them, but they had rather have the birds food...

deb said...

Good morning, the sun is shining, but not for long. We have a heat advisory for today, you need to be careful if you are outside for long.

stronghunter said...

You do have to admire the squirrels. They need to eat too; the thing that really got to me was when this little guy started throwing the seeds on the ground--I guess so he could get to the ones he liked. Ungracious guest! I chased him off for the moment.

May just have to move the food to another spot. It is definitely not a birdproof feeder. It's one of those big fancy blocks from the grocery store.

Mits said...

good morning everyone...have a good day:)

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Mariah I was worried I was losing it ... well maybe I already have lol

Squirrels--I know they can be pesky but when you see their little ones. It all falls into place. They used to have 2 litters a summer over our shed. Loved watching and feeding them. A tree with a very small branch won't keep them away from feeder. We had a mulberry tree and watching them go to the very end of the branches. Was so funny cause you would see the branch bending slowiy to the ground....they got their berries though.

stronghunter said...

Once we put a metal sheet around a tree and greased it, but then I felt sorry for the squirrels because they fell off the tree.

stronghunter said...

I don't have any large trees near my house anymore. Lost one to Hurricane Isabel and one to another storm a few years later. They were good locations for bird feeders.

stronghunter said...

Hidey just appeared.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I think Hidey just brought in a fish! :)

stronghunter said...

Trying to walk with food on talon.

stronghunter said...

I guess Hidey has been fishing.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, this is a monumental day if Hidey caught her own fish!!

stronghunter said...

Hidey is enjoying his / her catch.

stronghunter said...

At least we can hope Hidey caught this one.

stronghunter said...

No squealing. Polite Hidey. Does this mean parents are not around?

Red said...

Norma, Thanks to Tammy I got your message of yesterday. I am doing much better now. Doctors have put me on two new meds and I am breathing much better.
I only have a few hummers so far this year but here's a photo for you from a few years ago.

Hummers

Mits said...

Mei Xiang, and Tian Tian are together again

Mits said...

FYI,


We put Mei and Tian together in the yards this morning. All went as expected with lots of playing/eating/resting. For now, we will be putting them together in the early mornings and separating them by the late morning feeding. They may not be put together every day…it depends on staffing/tours/ curator on duty/workmen etc

GA-GIRL said...

oh my goodness. did you see the parent fly into the nest and Hidey protect he/r food..I was laughing out loud.. that was funny

stronghunter said...

I heard the squeals from upstairs. Hidey not about to share.

wvgal_dana said...
