Mother Nature provided a gift for our birds

[Omaha Steve]

5. They do the same thing here

No idea why they pick over the peanuts the way they do.

We had a male that imitated a hawk sound for a couple weeks. Science believes it for a couple reasons. To warn of a hawk in the area. And to keep others away from it's food source. He stopped doing it about a week ago.

They know when we come out the door in the morning to feed them. They are helped by the racket the dogs make running out the door first thing. The blue jay racket starts right up. The turkeys nested in trees just down the hill in line of sight, so they come running up when we go out the door too. So does a lone female deer.

These small trees will replace some of the privacy trees (between the homes on the side of us) we lost to drought. The birds loved sitting in them during the day even though the forest is on the other side of the back fence: http://www.fontenelleforest.org/
