Not a whole lot of bird activity going on in this early part of summer but
we do have a very active pair of Catbirds frequenting the suet and
aggressively enjoying the birdbaths. We have hatched our second brood of
Bluebirds and they are ready to bust out of their house at any moment as we
can see the young beaks peeking at us from the driveway. Last week we had a
nice surprise as a Barred Owl flew out of the backyard, pounced on an
unsuspecting mole or toad and then took his prey to a snag right in front of
the porch. The Owl sat up there eating his catch for 15 minutes or so and
then silently flew across the road. Flying squirrels are out every night
taking inches off the tube feeder's sunflower level or munching on suet.
