The winter has thinned their ranks, probably with the help of the coyotes, fox, cougar and bears. Then there are the fly-ins.: eagles, turkey buzzards, ravens magpies. Interesting to watch. |

Couldn't find wooden ones small enough. Total diameter is 5 1/8" There was more "clean up" after this shot and may be some more later. |
