Here by the lake we have seagulls (or as our local paper calls them, flying rats), terns, hawks, eagles, crows, owls & several weeks ago we had a falcon in the yard. We also have very few songbirds. We tried to "feed the birds" our first year here and ended up throwing away the food....no birds. There was a pair of cardinal's that nested in our rhode bush for a couple of years but they're gone now. We had a gull land in the yard one day and there were 3 mad yorkies wanting him for lunch. |
