Sometimes taking a step back is actually a step foreword, glad it is working for you.

We have all but cardinals, count yourself lucky you don’t have magpies, yappy useless little garbage pickers

I spent a couple weeks in Calgary and Edmonton. They were pretty cool looking birds!

One thing about bird feeders is they do attract all kinds of wildlife....Skunks, deer, turkeys, racoons, and other critters all were coming right into my patio to feast.

I will feed them again next winter probably, and yes they do go through a lot of food. I know I went through well over 100 pounds of sunflower seeds alone.

In Alaska, Magpies are know as Camp Robbers as they are very brazen and will steal any food they can carry.

I took ten hoping that I'll get the eight I wanted. I think I'll plant the two others somewhere in the trails we walk.

Yes it is amazing what comes to the feeders....Lots of birds I had never seen before.

chainsaw, but yep they are about the same. Probably a 20 year old Craftsman that I never drain the fuel out of and use rarely so lucky it lasted this long.

Do you guys really sit outside in the heat?

ah...okie dokie...i've got one that needs a little attention too....course the fuel i use is from VP, so i don't have to worry to much about the carb.....just need to start it, let it warm up and run it

 

[BudmanTX]

me, only in the early evenings from 6:30 - 7 to dusk, the rest of the time for me, it's in the house out of the heat for health reasons

 

[raratt]

Once I get used to it I can hang into the upper 90's, after that I hide in AC. It's the transition from 70's to 100's that hurts.
