    Default Backyard Chronicles


    So I just got moved into a new home and it's out in the sticks. Critters are everywhere. We're loving the place. I figured I'd create a thread dedicated to the wildlife that we encounter here on the new property.

    I've threw out some goodies free for the taking. So far I've had crows, brown thrashers, possums, squirrels, raccoons and deer. I'm looking forward to drawing more wildlife to the property and hopefully getting some nice pics.

    By the way, I'm situated within minutes of at least 4 rivers.....

    I'm going to keep this thread rolling while updating it periodically.

    Added some things. Few bird feeders and houses. Tons of wildlife here. Carolina wrens, American robins, bluebirds and lots of others have visited us already. The feeding staton pictured is complete with a rain gauge and thermometer. Black oil sunflower seed, thistle and a couple types of suet for now. Much more to come.

    Ironically a few minutes after my previous post my wife looked out the kitchen window and this deer was checking us out.

    Come spring time after the threat of frost has passed I'm thinking of planting sunflowers around the property for the birds. I done this once at a past residence, anybody else done this? Thoughts?

    Had several critters out and about when I got home this evening. Possums, raccoons and deer.

    You can't even put out bird feed? For the birds? What? Dang, no good. I figure I've got bears somewhere just haven't seen any yet.

    No bird feed, supposed to keep garbage cans inside garage, cant feed dogs and cats outdoors. I will not keep my rank garbage inside, but will follow the rest as I already have been visited once by FWC and warned.

    Wow. So nobody sales bird feeders/seed and whatnot anywhere? Sounds crazy but I guess bears must be a real problem there then.
