Stopped yesterday at my LGS and picked up 300 rounds of CCI Mini Mag HP. I have plenty of 22 lr but this is what my BAR 22 likes the best. The squirrels……… not so much. My feeders would be cleaned out every two days if not for the tree rat squad standing guard. I also keep a dog proof trap under the feeders for the night raiders(coons and possums).

Going to get to see some looney birds on TV tonight. They are going to crap their nests.

Seen a bluebird and a robin a little bit ago. Thunderstorms are passing through. Just got in from work.

My son shot one of those yesterday in his yard, apparently rabid as it was headed for him.

The squirrels work on my feeder but it holds 500lbs so they’re not wiping it out in two days. I’ve got one big coon that comes all hours of the day. I often see it out there at high noon. As long as it doesn’t get up on the feeder head and wreck it the coon doesn’t bother me. The only thing I don’t have coming regularly are turkeys. I get some every once in awhile.

Johnw: 75 degrees here today (by FAR the warmest day of this year so far) and the birds are VERY active around my bird feeder, yard and nearby fields.
So far today:
Robins
Chickadees
Wrens
Gold Finch
Swallow
Meadowlarks
Magpies
Mourning Doves
Eurasian Doves
Black Birds
Red-Wing Blackbirds
Vultures
Ravens
Western Tanagers (they just arrived back here last week)
Bald Eagle
Goshawks
And the Bird Watching highlight (or lowlight?) of the day was a Golden Eagle that kept repeatedly swooping down on a Doe Antelope who has been in her "birthing posture" all morning.
I hope that the soon to be mother Antelope can avoid losing her fawn(s) to this giant bird.
The Antelope is 550 yards distant and with my good binoculars I can not see a fawn anywhere in the shortgrass and sage field the mother (?) is lying down now.
Hoping for the best here.
