- 24 for a high the next 2 days and then the first week of January has all sorts of predictions from -5 to + 6 so who knows what will happen. The hedge up front fills up with chickadees and they also hide under the awning and drive the cats up the wall, quite a few critters up front.

-29°C hi tomorrow,-25°C Sunday, -20°C Monday, -16°C Tuesday so not a quick warm up until -5°C Friday.
I put up a second suet feeder since the birds were going through it pretty quick. My cats got a few turkey dinners this week.

Before I put my bird seed feeders and suet right outside our living room window the magpies would clean them out in record time. Crows didn`t seem to bother with the feeders.

Bluejays and squirrels clean out feeders around here, crows would too now that they seem to have found a winter home although I haven't seen much of them lately might have gotten too cold for them and they left...

We don`t often see Blue jays if at all and so far we don`t have squirrels.
Right now it`s so cold my 2 cats that do go out door don`t care about chasing anything. Even the brass monkeys are in shock.
I used to feed yr round but a few yrs ago I quit feeding during summer.
That I would pay to see Perry! 
Here on the farm I can shoot but never have so I`m way out of practise.
What kind of damage do squirrels do John?

I don`t like the sound of bushy tailed rats! 
I`m glad I have a few cats roaming around to keep the mice down. I really like cats and really hate mice, especially after they chewed a hole in my 69 mint Mach 1`s headliner many yrs ago!

As long as squirrels have a safe and sheltered place to nest they seem to be okay. The squirrels here chase after the bigger birds if they think their food is threatened and they can scale a tree a whole lot faster than the cats. These critters know my cats only wish they could mess with them .
