One less squirrel
 

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.)

Having those easy-to-care-for "pets" around, with their spilled grain, attracts lots of squirrels, deer, etc., and that, in turn, attracts predators.

Yesterday I pulled into the garage, and before I closed the door spied this in my front yard:

Awesome sight! And the circle of life goes on.....

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.

LOL! Sounds like YOU have a friend, Bob! One who kindly brings you fresh squirrel for lunch. If only I were so lucky... :biggrin:

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.

He even took the head off for me!! :rofl:

I'm an avid birder myself, but I don't recognize that hawk- what species is it? And you are selling birdseed???? I go thru more of that than I do orchid fertilizer.

:((

I always heard Cousin Lewey would make a good dinner.

Very nice Ray! Great candid shot!
