You know how to fix that don't ya?

Doesn't bother me. I'm always awake when they do it. Starlings on the other hand, that's a whole different deal. Get 'em first thing in the spring and they don't come back. Like for years!

...same cure can work for chimney swifts and barn swallows.

KILL robins! I swear the ugly, crapping bastiges are sitting on my fence outside the bedroom window at 5:00am making their horrible sound.

Problem is, if I get up and go out with the BB gun I'm wide awake after that anyway.

Just shoot 'em from the bedroom window. Grease the window track so it opens quietly. That's how I deal wi--- ooops...

If they are on my fence there's a problem with the people's house next door. It's a clear shot if I was out there and kneel. Might be on the roof though? That'd be a clear shot. BASTIDS!

Well, the house next door is in no danger, as long as you don't miss...

The Western tanagers are back in the yard for summer. Saw a rufous hummingbird too but didn't get a photo.

This lil' fella's been hangin' around the last few days. When I go out to do chores I can walk within about 10 feet of him.

This little guy was when camping on the coast. Little baby Squirrel.
Just came out and sat near us . Was not much bigger then a small bird.

Looks to me like a Douglas squirrel. Cute. Love our native squirrels. Hate the invasive squirrrels that were introduced on purpose and now number in the millions in Pdx alone and outcompete and displace our native squirrels. They also do a lot of damage, have been getting bamboo to grow for years and this time of year they will come and eat every single bamboo shoot if you let them. Killed four of them this morning. 4 shots with PCP air pistol, 4 squirrels that dropped like a stone.
