After several years without bird feeders, I was able to put some out yesterday. We are re-modeling the lower deck and I took down the steps from the top deck, temporarily, which means the raccoons do not have access to the feeders or plants up there. After years of putting up with them destroying our plants (digging in the planters looking for bulbs) and emptying the sunflower seed feeder in just one night, we took away the plants and feeders. They would also leave their "calling card" on the deck and steps when they left. After putting up the feeders just yesterday afternoon, this morning I have already seen, Gold Finches, Pine Siskins, Nuthatches, Chickadees, Hummingbirds, and a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak. Cool!!! Welcome back! Now to start adding the potted plants again.
