Oh no, not here! Along our road, I saw that awful, stretchy spiderweb stuff stretched over two shrubs. There were other Halloween decorations throughout the yard that were OK. This young couple moved here last year. Taking a chance that it might do some good, I printed a sheet with some photos of birds entangled in that webbing along with a short message about the perils of using this product outdoors and put it in their mailbox.
Was I ever surprised when I drove by the very next day and the webbing had been removed. That definitely made my day.
A sign that Fall is in full swing and we are moving towards winter is seeing both male and female Pileated Woodpeckers on the suet. A surprise bird was a Brown Creeper going up the walnut tree. Such neat little birds. A female Towhee also showed up.
White-throated sparrow numbers have increased substantially. This morning I heard the familiar Sam Peabody, Peabody, Peabody. Lots of Robins hogging the birdbaths every now and then.
