Our Hmong Neighbors Call Us The "Crow People," I Discovered..

28. A couple of years back I lived in a cottage in the country.

We had a squirrel feeder for mixed nuts, a bird feeder, and I put seed on the ground also. I lined nuts up along the window ledge and the table under our covered patio so we got to see the squirrels up close. The ledge of one of the windows where we put the nuts was also in front of the table we fed the cats on. Nothing like watching the cats bang their head on the window while the squirrels just calmly keep eating their nuts. We had blue jays, a few crows once in a while, some birds that were gray and blue, yellow and black spotted birds, and my favorite were the morning doves. We also got apples or pears cut them to make easier to eat and put them out on the lawn to feed the deer. Of course I had to bring in left over nuts every night from the squirrel feeder or the raccoons would eat it all. I did leave a variety of left over critter food for the raccoons. We did not feed them but we got to hear the sing songs of coyotes hunting at night. I miss that place so much.
