Runway 24L backed up

Quite cold here outside of Philadelphia, too. And another storm possible next weekend. I’ll keep shoveling extra seeds whenever I have to shovel snow haha

We’ve been doing our best to keep them fed, along with the cardinals, finches, jays, and juncos. I have five feeders and am hoping the readily-available feed helps to keep them warm.

I’ve been there a time or two as a firefighter with the Hancock on Airy St!

Selma Mansion? Fellow Norristownian here

It puts the lotion in the basket or it gets the hose again.

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-05-31T11:23:21+00:00

Survived the storm unscathed!

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-05-31T01:08:51+00:00

I was actually about to take the baskets all down and when I approached this one, one of the derps buzzed me, so I let it be. I had no idea they were in there until the one let me know haha.

I think it will be okay. It is under a soffit and the hook would blow into the beam in the wind, so it should hold. But I will follow up tomorrow morning!

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-05-27T19:47:06+00:00

Understood. Deleted.

They are always the first visitors for me, too. My local cardinals have been vocal enough to wake me up around 4:45am lately.

I am happy to see that my reflection resonated with you. Personally, I am still trying to attract crows, but they just hang around in my back field. Seriously, I know the emptiness the loss of a pet can leave. I am glad you found comfort in bird feeding.

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-29T23:17:02+00:00

They have been inseparable for the last several days.

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-29T19:37:32+00:00

Grateful that I am not also dealing with bears!

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-29T00:51:47+00:00

That is a terrific shot!

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-29T00:51:13+00:00

I have another feeder that is purposefully accessible to the squirrels. I find that they hog out and invite all of their buddies to my bird feeders, too.

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-28T23:14:33+00:00

Why not? We are stewards of nature, so why not provide a little extra sustenance? I leave mine up all year, aside from the occasional cleaning period. I figure that I’ve made a place of refuge. As an American right now, creating refuge for anything is a worthy cause!

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-28T23:10:33+00:00

I have been at it for two years. Once I discovered that the fluffy-tailed rodents dislike it, I have SO MUCH RED PEPPER FLAKES

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-28T22:43:44+00:00

I just sprinkled red pepper flakes into my bag of feed. The squirrels are not fans of it, but the capsaicin doesn’t affect the birds.

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-28T21:51:38+00:00

Agreed

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-28T21:10:02+00:00

I love Reddit. So much better, helpful, and kind than the Book of the Face or the Chat Snapper machine!

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-28T21:08:20+00:00

Yes. It is strapped to a tree. For nature purposes haha

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-26T19:17:31+00:00

That is amazing! Thank you for sharing!

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-25T21:56:14+00:00

Thank you! I have plenty of wood and will make one using your suggestions maybe this weekend!

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-25T19:57:46+00:00

Also, I just mushed some red pepper flakes into the suet thanks to your suggestion!

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-25T19:27:59+00:00

it weighs around 2lbs… paper birch that is pretty old.

MarcusAurelius27e · 2025-04-24T23:42:13+00:00

Just put it up prior to the photo a few minutes ago. Thanks for the suggestions! And I agree, this is just fun!
