First off, check out our feeders at night. The top photo is that of a raccoon feasting. I give these guys an extraordinarily wide berth if for no other reason than rabies shots sound painful...
The next is a screen grab of our streaming Web cam. Obviously, no birds, but it has been action packed during the daytime. (Kind of meditative in a funny sort of way.)
And that leads us to our upcoming "Squirrel-Palooza"! This will be one of our live, free, stupid, gotta-do-it-for-the-good-of-the-soul events. What we'll do is tether a number of ears of corn off the ground via a bungee cord and then wait for the velociraptors, squirrels to descend and attack the bouncing maize. I'll set up the live cam, Twitter (CapeCodAlan) the start of the insanity, and you can watch the rodents go bonkers.
Of course, this doesn't have to be our only "Palooza" extravaganza. No... Not even close. Now that we can move the camera around the yard at will, we can have live stuff like "Crow-with-Popcorn-Palooza" and even "Big Foot-Palooza". Just be afraid.
See you by the feeders,
CapeCodAlan
