pleasant, hours sitting on the deck in the warm sun and watching
the various birds show up and check out the nooks and crannies in the
cottonwoods. They never end up picking our trees but each year a pair
of Wood Ducks gives them a thorough inspection. I saw them today
apparently just starting to pair up and fly together, not house hunting
yet, but ...soon.


I know many of you are still gripped in Winter, but look West or South
... Spring is on it's way .... honest !
Indian Joe offers--spring not here yet in coastal N.C.--still have to wear
a shirt to play tennis and kayak is still hung in garage.
Currently feeding lots of yellow rumped warblers--and a couple of piliated
woodpeckers-{ may be youngsters from last year's hatch ]--the pine forest
we had as back yard is now houses so we are also now visited by two huge
cats.
any ideas on what to feed these two [ too many kids around to use my
trusty 22 with low volosity bullets]--is there a poison I can put in food
that might erase them?
Thanks in advance--you do not have to include your name

I went up to the local hardware and bought me a 'have a heart?' trap. Metal
with a door that springs and traps them alive. My first season I caught
five...
