In a previous entry I mentioned the activity of Chipmunks and I recently found out we have Natures true Hoarders On The Land. While their bigger brothers the Squirrels take peanuts and are given to eating them now, Chipmunks seem … Read More
Over 6 years ago we used to have a group of doves that would feed around the bird feeder. There were usually 4-7 birds walking around on the ground in the morning or late afternoon. The problem with ground feeding … Read More
