Friday Night in America

The first game of the 2011 football season at Panther Stadium. It was 95 degrees.

Camo-Moth!

Check out this camouflage-designed moth that was in our garage this weekend.

Squirrel Baffle

I may have finally gotten the best of my pesky squirrels. We've tried several "anti-squirrel" feeders, but the squirrels defeated all of them. The last one I bought had springs and closed when the squirrels climbed on it, but they chewed through the plastic and ruined the whole thing.

So I bought this baffle - and I've seen two squirrels try to get past it and they cannot. I also bought this new feeder. It has a tray and not perches. The cardinals wouldn't land on the perches (not very often), but they'll land on this one. I'm hoping to attract the painted bunting that keeps perching on my fence to this new feeder. The chickadees and titmice have no problem with it either. The baffle was about 10 dollars and the feeder was 15.
