Tweets,
I have regular flying squirrel visits. Beautiful animals, with huge
eyes and fur you can tell is soft just by looking. They eat not only
sunflower seed but suet as well, especially the "peanut treat" suet.
They occupy one or two of my bird houses every year.
Juncos at a tube feeder too weird? How about a flicker who is at my
tube feeder every day? Juncos constantly at the tubes and I had a
sharp-shinned hawk try to sit on top of a tube feeder yesterday - he was
after sunflower stuffed LBJ's, not sunflower though. As for weird how
about a varied thrush who is going after millet on my deck? Is he
confused?
Lost one of my main owl trees during the blow this afternoon. What a
mess!
