Family-1 Squirrels-4



for fhe last week toran wanted to make bird feeders, so he and cabes gathered up some pinecones, and we went to the store to pick up some cheap peanut butter (i'm not sharing the good stuff with animals) and bird seed. we rolled the pinecones in the p.b. and had to mention several times to caleb not to eat it as now the p.b. was dirty from the dirt on the pinecone. after making the bird feeders, glenn hung them up in the some trees out in the yard. the next, day we all watched for the birds to come, but none came. the following day, while playing outside i noticed these little strings hanging without any birdfeeders. darn squirrels! now the squirrels are scouting around all over for more treats. ciela and toran sprinkled bird seed over the whole yard, and so there now are plenty for the squirrels! this is a good time to mention that while i am very grateful to have a digital camera, i cannot get it to do what i want, even with the aid of the fixing abilities from mac. that string that is mimicking a branch is what i am trying to show you!

Those silly squirrals. We have one that frequents our backyard too.

That's why I have an air gun. They will not dig up my bulbs or even cross the fence or blast away. Your idea was a good though. Nothing keep them from food. The poor birdies.

We feed our squirrels peanuts here, yay costco bags! They know us so well they have no problem coming up to the door or into the house for food. Out of your hand is completely natural for them...I loved it :)

They have squirrel proof bird feeders...maybe I finally have a gift to send someone :)

As for your camera problems...what was the problem? Focusing? I'm lost...
