Didn't monitor first feeding today because I needed to go check pond ice. Jeeves came to Corn Rock almost immediately after second feeding, but blackbirds soon overran that rock. This time, instead of remaining seated in the canopy, I walked to a spot out in the meadow about 35 feet from both Corn & Gourmet Rock. This kept the blackbirds away from both rocks. Jeeves soon came out, but would run away when he noticed me looking that way. I mostly looked toward Gourmet Rock but looked Jeeves way enough to get several pictures with my point & shoot during the 45 minutes I guarded the rocks. https://www.flickr.com/photos/123438032@N04/ Frank Lyne frank@xxxxxxxxxxx - near Dot in Logan County, KY ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS============= When posting on BIRDKY, please close posts with your first and last name and your address (city or county). * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post on BIRDKY, send e-mail to: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the KOS website at http://www.birdky.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the KOS Photo Page to view photos of birds recently sighted in Kentucky: http://www.flickr.com/groups/kentucky_ornithological_society/pool * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: birdky-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BIRDKY List Manager: Gary Ritchison.
