There is one advantage, the chipmunks and Oregon Juncos take care of everything that lands on the bridge to shore. The ones that land in the lake are another matter. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-13741865333947443282017-08-09T15:55:19.899-07:002017-08-09T15:55:19.899-07:00We are lucky that bears don't climb down our s...We are lucky that bears don't climb down our stairs to get to the cabin so I'm confident about leaving my feeders up all summer. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-52676876948464998632017-08-09T15:54:13.222-07:002017-08-09T15:54:13.222-07:00Thanks for the inspiration.

My knife wasn't as sharp as it should have been to cut a clean line so I though a little tape would protect the birds as they stuck their beaks inside. No worries about the spelling. I've been called a lot of things like Margie, Margo, Maggie and I answer to them all. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-27821144032054713032017-08-08T16:53:43.082-07:002017-08-08T16:53:43.082-07:00Nice shot of the Jay!Nice shot of the Jay!Paul in Powell Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539247800330943502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-20392471790949764192017-08-08T13:16:39.228-07:002017-08-08T13:16:39.228-07:00I woke up in the middle of the night, realizing I&...I woke up in the middle of the night, realizing I'd spelled your name wrong.

That year, ...Remember Art Bell? And the Y2K panic?<br /><br />That year, I wrote this, half about the chickadees and their feeder.<br /><br />"NO TOMORROW<br />And Art Bell says don't touch that dial, more <br />UFO's coming down the light years, the <br />extra terrestrials, alien <br />intelligences to spin crop circles <br />for the millennium. Are you overweight? You're <br />out of your mind if you don't buy this radio <br />with a light and a crank and a <br />crackpot hoard of food for Y2K; the cans <br />won't leak even though the world ends <br />- don't spin that dial - here in the Nevada desert with <br />tanks of water and saucers of ET's coming right up<br /><br />And at my window the chickadees take their turn on the dancing twigs, the bottle spinning under its saucer roof, bottle, birds and black oil seeds weightless in the swimming air, black beaks kissing black mouth, dropping one by one to crack the shells and pry the meat and rise again to join the queue. In the hungry hours at the end of light, their holes won't leak.Susannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923063322849781223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-37395977831064536422017-08-07T16:57:41.123-07:002017-08-07T16:57:41.123-07:00The duct tape was a good idea.
