hey paul
at least....you'll have a close source of manure for your garden
for horse manure i bury it in trenches so that its
around 8 to 12 inches beneath the topsoil
that way, the non broken down weed seeds from the hay
the horses eat.... won't be able to germinate

Saw a rat around the feeders today.Followed his trail to under my pond bridge.
Been patiently waiting to get a shot at him but no luck so far.

Its that time of year again.
I was surprised the last two days as a large blue heron has showed up at my fishpond,usually they're gone by now.He ain't getting anything because of the net.
Getting all the usuals at the feeders now.No hawk yet though.

I'm going to try and keep my pond running all winter this year. Today I installed a water spigot in the cellar with it's own hose so I can add water in the winter if it gets low.
Funny how water won't freeze if it's moving much at all.
Needless to say, the birds really love this. And the stream/waterfall/pond looks really cool after a good snowstorm!

Had a ONE LEGGED Downy woodpecker at the window suet feeder yesterday!!!
Little guy holding on and pecking away.
WTH, how is he able to climb trees with one leg. Talk about adaptability.

I added a de-icer two years ago.Haven't lost a fish over the Winter since.When it gets truly cold the fish will get right up against it. They're pretty cheap and don't consume all that much juice. |

Could the mods merge the "time to start feeding the birds" thread with
this one?
It would be nice to consolidate all the bird threads into one for easy info.
