I never knew there was a bird watching section on here....pretty sweet. I guess I could start out with asking if anyone has a favorite bird. I would say mine is the white throated sparrow.

I just got my first digital camera not too long ago. A Canon Powershot S2 IS. So I'll have to try out some bird pics with it one of these days.

I would have to say that my favorite bird would be a wren. Used to have a wren house that I built hanging outside my bedroom window when I was a lad. Always had wrens in it and they always sing so pretty in the morning! Sentimentally my favorite would be the wood duck. Many great memories everytime I see one. Welcome to the bird watchers! Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jibmo

I have never had them until this year and MY GAHD are they singers!! 4:30 in the morning everyday and they sure do battle with the Sparrows for nesting boxes. I'll post some pics of my backyard Wren buddy... they are shy when you walk up to them but stand still a couple of minutes and they come right back.

Oh, favorite bird... tough one.... Rose breasted Grosebeaks are up there with Hummingbirds & Scarlet Tanagers... sorry, I had to toss out three.

Lots of house wrens here. Put in a fair number of hills of birdhouse gourds in the garden to replenish their supply.

My favorite bird? Have some that are summer favorites & some that are winter favorites. There are many but if I had to choose one for summer it would be the eastern bluebird. Close second would be a 4-way tie between hummingbirds, goldfinches, wrens and orioles. In the winter, the chickdees still get my vote, and another tie between red-bellied woodpeckers and goldfinches for second.

In my part of the country there are house wrens and winter wrens. Those winter wrens have a great drawn-out song. If you haven't heard one, do a Google search for winter wren song and you'll find a couple sites that have recording. Very nice.

      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.
