Prof said:I love the wildlife...we feed birds, and one of the side benefits is that we are now beginning to see many more predator birds (hawks, owls, etc.) we are placing some Kestrel nest boxes and bat houses this spring...last year we put out blue bird boxes and had two blue bird nests and one house swallow nest...
A month or two ago we saw a bob cat, (we have lots of coyotes), and it was one only two or three bob cat sightings in the past two or three years locally. Chicago is very close, so it is really exciting to see the resurgence of wild animals here.
Christine says we spend a couple of hundred dollars a month feeding the birds, but it is really worth every cent.
Yer making me miss living in the mountains.... Living close to nature was some one the best time in my life.... I wish Lynette could take the cold weather....
Here's some shots of the two places I lived in Colorado. One is up the Frying Pan River at 7 castles above Basalt, Co and the bow tie shaped cabin was up Castle Creek, near Aspen.
