Suddenly this guy landed and it was a stand off..

Guess he didn't like dead fish,off he flew.

I walked over to check it out and see it was a sucker..

Nice-looking melons! I'm hoping to grow some Carolina Cross melons some time. Would be cool to have a 300 lb. melon to rip open, eat the heart and throw the rest away! :laughing9:

Great pics of the redhead. That's a beautiful bird.

That's a bad thing about up here - by the time we're starting our garden, most folks are already starting to reap the bounty from theirs. Is almost too short a season here even for tomatoes.

Speaking of tomatoes, we were having ground squirrels rob all the tomatoes, then they started sampling the bell peppers - ruined all but 3. So bought some new traps. Got 2 squirrels within a week, but also just discovered a small bird in one. Had the traps baited with some old pecans. Guess the bird figured out they were food. Too bad - was one of the beneficial birds that didn't mess with vegetables. ...Fortunately, haven't seen any bluejays this year!! :headbang:

We've got a green plastic mesh that surrounds our tiny crop. Besides, deer don't "usually" come right up to the wall of the house. The house adds early-season warmth, plus protection from the ferocious winds. Have already had lows below freezing this year, so the house is also a thermal mass against early frosts.
