wildlife

so the wildlife here is nothing like it is just a few miles away,
I asked at a farmers market what the biggest challenge they had was,
and they said squirrels,
the squirrels use to be everywhere here as well
they filled the trees, but now the trees are empty

the cats are what drives them away by eating the babies...

there is also lots of gophers around here now,
there use to be a way bigger snake population as well,
and they would keep down the gopher populations

for each animal that is changed here, something else will change in response,
so what may not be an issue at all where you are, might be the biggest problem ever just 3 miles away,
and it might be from your cat or dog you have living on your doorstep.

I would love to breed nice snakes and let them go here, but that cats will eat them all now...

for now I am just happy that the birds have not figured out what the sorghum is yet.


more flowers came out when it warmed up
