Birds and Mice

Hello,

 

The day after seeing the birds at the feeder no more birds were spotted. Then the next day I saw another one but only one and it did not hang around long. It checked out the seeds and moved on. We did not see any today. Disappointment abounds. We are going to move the feeder to our “office” window as there is a close evergreen tree. We wonder if that will encourage more birds to try it. Squirrels are much more of a concern here, but we will see what happens.

 

There have been no more mice in the trap and we are grateful for that. At least it should mean that there are no more mice in the apartment, right? Leroy has not heard any mice walking around. He also has not seen any out of the corner of his eye. The trap is still set and will be for another day or two, depending on what I feel like doing.

 

Strange we want more birds and no mice. Are we hard to please?

 

Today we took three walks. There was the short pre dawn walk. After online church we walked to church to give our contribution to world hunger. There was an outdoor collection Then in the afternoon we walked to get more steps. It had started to rain/snow. It seemed that the walk might be short, but it just got longer. It was about our regular long loop size in a different place. We counted the people that were out in the two mile trek. We saw twelve, but did not actually meet some of them. They were ahead of us and we never came close to catching up to them. I was getting tired by the time we got home and Leroy was getting cold so it was just refreshing to get in the house.
