The baits you have used are good for opossum, raccoon.
Smelly meat things , rice may attract birds as by catch.
( actually that sounds like a good meal , to me, …may find me in such a trap. If so be kind )
If they are eating nectarines ?
Nectarines may be good bait ?
The cantaloupe idea …
A good A good excuse to buy cantaloupe… maybe catch a critter . ? Often works.
It’s the fresh aroma that bings them to the trap.
Fresh bait placed in the evening. High humidity over night, = aroma.
Making like a nectarine/ cantaloupe smoothie pored around trap ,to increase aroma, in the evening , …irresistible …

The small pond that I put in when I was making my stone patio has now attracted a pair of beautiful dragonflies. They have been hanging out here for the last 3 days straight. Couldn’t get both of them to sit still long enough for a family portrait though:

The mystery of the holes in the garden with eggs ha been solved! It’s a turtle! And maybe a fox is digging them up. We saw her in action today.

Another snake this time on my front porch. I always look at the pupils, in the Southeast USA I believe non-poisonous snakes should have a round pupil where poisonous snakes I believe should have a cat eye, but don’t take my word for it, and I’m only talking about snakes in southeast USA, there are definitely poisonous snakes in the world with round pupils so you definitely need to know what the snake is before getting close enough to take a picture of its eyes. This one’s obviously a non-poisonous probably a gray rat snake so I just let him be and he slithered under my house.

I must have had a big hatching of these. I’ve seen several from tiny (half inch long) to this one that was just about an inch or so.

Every few days one of these break through my haskap netting defenses. They all find out it is not so easy to exit when you are freaking out. You can see the guilt in his face
See that net there bird? That’s there for a reason…
At first it may be just a few but once they discover them we are talking a dozen plus that would strip the bush in no time.

I had that type of netting birds always got stuck in it and in tangles easily. I bought from Americannettings.com birds rarely stuck and easy to put on and off without tearing

i dont get it. 3 of my haskaps fruited heavilly and i didnt need netting. nothing bothered them. my cherries either. had some cherries fall off the tree fully ripened and nothing touched them on the ground either. have all kinds of birds in my big pines. maybe the flash tape i put out was enough to deter them or they found something else in the wild thats more tasty. not complaining though.

There is a difference in netting…I’ve killed 3 birds in the gooseberry patch this year and a 1/2 inch net.
Found this little guy today hunting for bugs or mice in the volunteer squash growing in the compost pile.

Anyone that could possibly identify this footprint? It was in my drive by my camper in the woods and is kinda freaking me out. I’ve never seen a print like this and cannot even guess
It’s nearly as large as my human footprint in it entirety.
