Birds Everywhere!!!!

[JBMasterAngler]

These feeders are only partially blackbird proof, as they can still poke their heads in and peck at the food a little bit. I don’t use the suet one much, because only downy woodpeckers can fit in there.

This evening I will reset the live trap.   So far my peanut dough blocks from Menards have only been lasting a day or two, thanks to midnight ramblers....

 

Score so far is two racoons and a possum.   I wonder what morning will bring... if it stops raining.

[eyeguy 54]

It’s a forest 1.5 more inches of rain in 15 minutes and a bunch a hail

[Mike89]

ouch!!!  that not good...  

[delcecchi]

Wow

[Duffman]

Bet that was loud.

Hope you saved some of those for a cocktail.

 

[Wanderer]

Dang!!!  That’s some big hail.  Glad it didn’t come north!  

 

We got some damage last week from hail pretty close to that size.  Yard clean up has been a bugger.

[smurfy]

I was on my way home from work and seen that front. it did look nasty. that was from the 94/23 ramp. by the time I got home my wife said sauk rapids had big hail. UFFDA!!!!! cold spring didn't get  drop of rain.

kinda funny how that works. alot are still nesting, my mom says some already headed towards the border. i'm completely baffled by the lack of mourning doves this year!!!!!

[Hawg]

I have quite a few doves and getting a few more orioles this last week. The orioles could have been nesting, there's a few young ones around now too.
