These are pretty much resident all year round here, so nothing new or exciting and sadly I heard no owls this month, but then again, I wasn't listening that often at night because of the constant rain.

The new squirrel buster bird feeder has been up for three weeks now and nary a squirrel, nor a bird for that matter, and while there may not be any birds at either of my feeders, the roof rats sure have been enjoying the sunflower seeds in the old one.
