Seeking canna's and callas(more unusual varieties)
Comments (1)I have lots of orange cannas that get 6 feet tall or so.I don't know what kind they are though. Stacia digs_in_dirt2000@yahoo.com...See MoreWay cool..Pileated Woodpeckers!/off topic
Comments (16)well, Zyperiris, heheh I think I was definitely "wearing my brains" on backwards; I can't believe I missed out on that important descriptor-- prehistoric and wild and rough! I never thought of a bird being wild and rough except for a parrot that doesn't get enough attention from its owner, lol! So that descriptor should have caught my eye. I think I just saw the first 2 responses and jumped to the gun with mine, ridiculous me! Anyway, I am hoping one of these days we'll be able to enjoy a photo of your Pileated woodpeckers and your wood beaver! But again, it's so difficult to catch a real-live photo of wildlife and who cares about the photo compared to just the joy of seeing the real thing in person! You must have some really tall massive trees on your property. I would imagine one would need those kinds of trees to attract those woodpeckers. Keep us updated when you! get the chance to see these amazing birds! am crossing my fingers you'll get to see one soon, soon, soon!...See Moresuet feeder height.
Comments (16)You are probably correct about the corn and millet but my intended purpose is to photo document as many species of birds as I can. To that end I put out a large variety of foods that will attract all birds, whether they are consodered desirable or not. In fact,as long as I keep the feeders full I see very little actual competion between any of the species. Now I will freely admit that sometimes I have to refill the feeders 2 or 3 times a day and I scatter a considerable amount of seed as well as Bread, orange peels and apples on the ground but I get the apples free and 10 loaves of bread for a dollar, and there is an upside to this method. 1. The Squirrels actually prefer the bread.: . 2. generally the starlings and sparrows prefer to feed on the ground, here again, often preferring the bread to the seed, not to mention that there is a flock of 31 wild turkeys that come in shortly after daylight to get the bread and corn that is left on the ground. Even the Bluejays and Cardinals prefer to feed on the ground and often I see a half a dozen species of birds feeding right alongside a squirrel or chipmonk and on two oc occasions I have seen a groundhog feeding with the birds. Now I am sure that I could get a more selective clientele if I changed the menu but at my house Nobody goes away hungry....See MoreCan't believe I found these stickers!
Comments (3)Ooh, great finds, Penny! I found Strawberry Shortcake scratch 'n' sniff stickers at a grocery store once -- I think they were from Hallmark. I loved them so much that I didn't take them out of the package (I could smell them through the packaging)...then when I finally decided to take them out MONTHS later, they didn't smell anymore. :*( Phooey. ENJOY your stickers. (heh heh...) :o) Leah P.S. I *know* I've seen Barney stickers before...maybe at Hallmark or Carlton Cards??...See More- 10 years ago

I've lived in my house 11 years. I work in my yard all the time. The animals here are used to me. Think that's why I was able to get such a good picture. We have squirrels that are very friendly. Posted this before but here it is again.
