I put out all the bird houses, set up the garden fountain and the birdbath, filled up the birdfeeders with the new mix and what does it do? It snows. We had 4 beautiful days. Warm and sunny beach weath... Pets Jean Woods Mon, 15 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=192721&ca=Pets Birdies and birdhouses, ponds and birdbaths, birdfeeders and BEARS! Here we go again. It seems just yesterday the bears were waking up and hunting for birdfeeders filled with their favorite BearFood. Suddenly here it is time for them to start stocking up for the long winter slumber. I have actua... Pets Jean Woods Wed, 01 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=171692&ca=Pets I must have done something right this season, which I find pretty amusing since what I did mostly was ignore my garden. I cleaned out all the wonderful ornamental birdhouses as well as hung a few new ones. I cleaned out the pond and the birdbath fountain as well. I also discovered that the way to... Pets Jean Woods Mon, 16 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=142690&ca=Pets Well it’s spring, in some parts of the country anyway, around here winter is truly just beginning. Last week my robin returned, only to be buried in 4 feet of snow. The poor thing. I have a wooden bird feeder on a pole and it literally had three feet of snow on its roof. This robin always seems... Pets Jean Woods Mon, 16 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=142691&ca=Pets They’re here, they’re here. Finally, well it seems like forever, some of my migrating feathered friends have returned to their favorite bird feeders, at least to my favorite bird feeders. The youngest pair of evening grosbeaks were the first to return. I find this interesting because they were the... Pets Jean Woods Wed, 07 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=123934&ca=Pets Wow! It seems that our friends in Canada decided we had it much too easy and they sent us some of their cold weather via the “Alberta Clipper”, okay you can stop now. For those of you in Minnesota you know what I mean, but believe me for those in California, even in the Sierra’s it just rarely ever... Pets Jean Woods Sun, 31 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=114084&ca=Pets Well the bears have finally gone to bed, and I hope the raccoons, I don’t exactly know what they do for the winter, seems they go away for awhile. The squirrels and the bunnies are still rooting around but not for long. There is too much snow for them to go food hunting. So they will go to bed so... Pets Jean Woods Sat, 09 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=107864&ca=Pets Oh my goodness, after all my begging for new decorative birdhouses I need to take the Christmas Tree outside and plant it in the snow fully stocked with some of the most beautiful housing for my garden residents and visitors. The only problem is all my birds have disappeared and I don’t know where t... Pets Jean Woods Fri, 01 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=104574&ca=Pets Oh my goodness here it is, the holiday season arrives, Christmas is just around the corner and I’m so glad I’m not a turkey! The raccoons have been in the garden, we have renamed them “the terrorists”. I have no surviving birdhouses or birdfeeders left, luckily there is still so much natural food ar... Pets Jean Woods Fri, 03 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=98485&ca=Pets Wow, it’s gotten cold around here in a hurry. Maybe the grosbeaks had it right. The whole flock left about a month early. All of a sudden the wooden bird feeders still have food in them by the time the sun goes down and there are no bright yellow clowns in my garden fountain, I am so sad. I miss the...
