Nari -
Your story of your squirrel made me want to share my story -
Saturday(2nd day of bird count) morning I noticed the cardinals flying to my
big green metal feeder, then flying away without stopping for food. I
thought it must be empty, my son thought not. He went out with a bucket of
food anyway and as he got to the feeder he could see gray fur where the
birds would eat so he carefully raised the metal cover and out "flew" a gray
squirrel. It had to have spent the night in there at least. And he had eaten
all the food.!! I don't see how he got the metal cover up enough to get in.
My 4 pair of Cardinals and all the other birds are happy again.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Carolina Wren pair come to be counted today.
Both of the Carolina Wren pair appeared together today at our suet, just so
they could be counted for the GBBC. They were missing since last Thursday
and only one at a time has appeared sporadically last week. A red squirrel
happily sits all day inside the outer suet cage, discouraging small birds --
in spite of my efforts to persuade him away to seed elsewhere, cajole him,
threaten him.
In past years a CAWren pair has stayed around all year and even once nested
in a brush pile. Hope they do again.
