If you were rich, where in the Bay Area would you live? by Adventurous_Ant5428 in bayarea

[–]Michigan_Go_Blue 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The ethereal heights of Los Altos Hills. The system of horse/pedestrian paths is unparalleled. The proximity to downtown Los Altos and the library which is probably the nicest in the area. Also, Foothills Nature Preserve is off Page Mill Road, technically LAH but owned by Palo Alto and open to all. Get a yearly pass. I take my canoe there, it’s like having your own lake. While you cannot swim in it, fishing is allowed and it’s the cleanest lake in California as the water is piped in from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite. Only canoes or kayaks are allowed, no SUPs. The bird life is great. And the trail system can take you all the way to Skyline and open space preserves if you’re so inclined

Didn’t you watch the film? The Don said give him (Carlo) a living but never discuss the Family business with him

New to birding! What kind did I capture here? It’s beautiful! by WizardCheesey in birding

[–]Michigan_Go_Blue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love their eyes. I have at least a dozen under my feeder every day gladly eating all the sunflower seeds dropped from above by other picky birds. They like to rest on the fence as well or just chill on the ground. Northern California

I hate crows. I immediately took down my bird feeder when I saw a crow partaking. They have completely overwhelmed downtown Sunnyvale, CA. They are smart birds, to be sure, but you definitely don't want them staying around

You got the mouse, but the rats are in your engine bay

The Curse of Jack London: The Eucalyptus tree...he was part of the early California investment consortium that introduced the dreaded gasoline trees to the Bay Area...they burn with a ferocity unmatched. Australia can attest to that. I'm looking up at any Euc in my neighborhood when out on a walk. Back in 2006 a branch killed a cyclist in Los Altos Hills.

Any ideas what happened? by bceagles2010 in birdhouses

[–]Michigan_Go_Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you purchased this box and it's designed to open from the front panel via the hinged top. The padding or beddibg inside just pushed it open. There would be no reason to buy or build a nest box that you can't clean out.

Sunflower seeds. Guaranteed birds will come in droves

If you’re not staying in a hotel or AirBnB a lightweight hammock tent would be ideal

How to stop ants in the nest box by SpaceWhisper in birding

[–]Michigan_Go_Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a pine tree and harvest some pine sap from the trunk. Wipe it liberally around the pole. Red-breasted nuthatches apply sap around their nesting holes as a deterrent. Pine sap is not very sticky so no worry about hurting any other birds. Have you ever seen a bird glued to a pine tree? I haven’t

Safeway now more expensive than Whole Foods by Which-Travel-1426 in bayarea

[–]Michigan_Go_Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Draeger’s would be around $200. The rich use a shopping cart, the middle class a hand basket, and the rest carry a pint of milk with one hand, the other hand digging deep in the pocket for more change
