Re: Birds in the back yard
There's a skunk making the rounds out here. I should have you come & track that one. Can smell he's been in the main barn some nights when I do lamb check about 10 p.m. Prolly time to bait the live trap and see how many cats I catch before I nail the SOB. Saw another robin yesterday & heard geese flying over last night. 🌙

Poppy would look eye to eye with a skunk.  May even like each other.

Re: Birds in the back yard
Poppy is a lot like our Sheltie was in that dept. Pretty cocky for a little dog. Murphy took on a skunk one night in the front yard at potty time. Came in the house dripping with eau de skunk. Didn't get her corralled before she managed to rub against the furniture. Thank god for the Dawn/baking soda/hydrogen peroxide concoction to clean her up.

LOL  Yup you don't know for sure until they get in the house, then it's too late.  And thanks to whoever came up with the skunk cleaner recipe.  Lifesaver.

Re: Birds in the back yard
I caught one several years ago at the cabin, I had to they were trying to take over under our porch. Cat food and dog food didn't work but an egg otta the fridge worked wonders. Sooo I didn't have the seeds to walk up and cover the trap with a blanket to carry down to the lake,  so I shot it...And that sucker sprayed HUGE... :doah:

Re: Birds in the back yard
Male cardinals singing their spring song. Chickadees have been at it for a couple weeks. Lots more geese flying around. Caught one black cat in the live trap so far but no skunks. Haven't smelled any skunks since I put the trap out. Cat came out of the trap like it was shot out of a cannon. Had only been in there an hour or so. It was eating cat food at choretime.

More geese & a large flock of red-winged blackbirds. When I asked where they were headed, they said there's a guy in Cold Spring who has nice bird feeders. His beer sucks but his sunflower seed is great!

Whilst taking Poppy out for her morning after breakfast potty, a sandhill crane flew overhead squawking away. Poppy cocked her head and looked at it like WTH?!?!  :scratch:
