Moved the bird feeders out of the garden and closer to the house. The grackles are not very happy about it. I, on the other hand, was happy to see a nut hatch at the feeder this morning.
Speaking of feeders, a few days ago I noticed that one of the hummingbird feeders was totally empty after just having been filled. Wasn't sure how it happened especially considering the other gender was still full. Went out the next morning and feeder two was empty as well. Did an internet search and discovered that bats and bears and raccoons will drink the nectar if given the chance. I'm betting on raccoons. Making a fresh batch of nectar today and will start taking the feeders down at night.
Must have been grinding my teeth last night. Jaw is sore.
Time to water the garden. Toodles.
