Here’s all the armament I’ve applied to my feeders and trays..



It’s stopped all but one male. He just jumps on the trays from the ground.

When I get my beautiful Bride home from the hospital, I’m going back to work on the launcher.

Get a few of these to move into the area.
While I was making bfast this morning, Donna went out and took a few photos of one of the two hawks we have nesting in the tree.
They squawk like crazy when Macy is out on her leash.
We are very careful never to leave her alone when she is out there.
The resident squirrel population has taken a serious nosedive since these two came back again this year to mate and nest.

We have a few resident hawks in our area. There’s a bunch of walnut and butternut trees so the squirrels have lots of food. But they do like an easy meal. All but one stays on the ground.

I had to put the launcher on the very back burner. My Bride objects….strenuously!

I popped one feeder bandit with the pellet gun. Thought I just gave it a little sting, but, hit it  pretty hard. It’s still around, but, it Didn’t go over well.

Maybe next winter.

Timing, and discretion, is everything in life Bob.

Have fun with the tree rats when she’s out having her hair done or something.

Doesn’t work that way here Mac. After 53 years……she’s pretty aware.

And, I’m good with keeping her happy.
