I had a whole bunch of pairs of cardinals chasing each other around my backyard, Friday.  Sorta like there was an empty nesting territory being bid on.   Interestingly I have had a pair around the yard all winter;  so I thought that the territories were all set up.

Anybody have any luck drawing Cardinals to wooden houses/shelves? Seen a few lately but would like to know if they work. It says 4 feet off the ground on walls behind shrubs is the placement but that sure seems like a cat food location to me.

We have three pairs,   near as we can tell, of Cardinals but have not been able to guess WHERE they nest. They''ll show up often at crack of dawn and hit the feeders,  then sometimes one or two will sit way in the absolute top of a tree couple hundred feet away and just watch whatever is going on.  Nice to see those red streaks shoot across the front of the house. And nice to listen to them at while enjoying morning coffee.

I've tried and failed to ever find a nest also but if they are that low to the ground I have to say I never looked that low. A couple different Cardinal websites told me the 4 foot thing so it must be.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
