I've been so busy at work lately I have not had time to post. We are still getting beautiful weekday weather and rain/wind/cold every weekend so that's been very disappointing.
Quite a few birds around, including daily Red bellied and Downy Woodpeckers on the suet along with the usual Blue Jays, House Sparrows, Common Grackles, Mourning Doves
The Mute Swans had 6 cygnets and a few weeks later 3 remain. I bet the local snapping turtle grabbed some of babies.
We saw a turtle in the garden the other day. She did a number on my tomato plants, I may have to buy some new ones.

Chicken wire fence is usually enough to keep them out. You can cut it off the roll and it will naturally form a cylinder, then fasten it with wire ties and stake it down.
