In addition to orchids, I have developed an interest in bird watching, so have set up the "Cadillac of Bird Feeding Stations" in my yard. (In my usual fashion, I have also begun purchasing feed, feeders, etc in wholesale quantities, and added them to my store - hint, hint.)

Like like you've got a friend.


There is one living in he tree in my backyard. One day I walked out and spooked him by accident. He flew away and dropped his squirrel. It almost hit me, I had to move out of the way!

That's really cool, I love birds of prey, a great side effect of those pesky squirles being attracted.

Send the hawk here. When I walk out into the courtyard of the apartment complex and I'm surrounded by 11 squirrels it is a little creepy.
