If we reach the time they can open rubbermaid containers there will be a national alert and no one will be safe.

We had squirrels chew through two Rubbermaid heavy duty garbage cans to get to the bird food. Replaced the cans and shot the squirrel!

Determined little critters! Rick had the BB gun at the ready for this rodent, but the rodent did not peek his head out again. Dead mouse (that, in my opinion is a good mouse) in my driveway this AM. nothing in the traps, ...what the heck is going on?

Nice hummingbird photo! Where do you shoot these photos from?

At least their food only attracts ants and bees!

Thanks! This feeder is hanging off the front porch. Little buggers are so fast, it's hard to catch them in the LED screen, let alone get them into focus. Out of 5 shots, only one is kinda in focus. I have bug trap (type you fill with water) to help keep ants off the feeders.

All of the birds in the woods next to the house were going crazy tonight. none of the usual birds were feeding at the feeder. Strange...then I looked up.


Whooooo would have thought!

(Sorry it is a little blurry as I was trying to hold a 600mm without a tripod...rookie!)

Very cool...maybe he can stop by my house and check out that rodent issue! Rick has not had any success so far. Trying to see if the main rodent has moved on...the little guys can stay, as long as they don't come into the house....
