This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_m9lBa1SHor/c77iD3/M//A) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT A few months ago.....we put up several bird feeders on our fromt step...lovely...chickadees...nuthatches, juncos etc. One day there was a large rat sitting on our step....helping himself to the food....long story short.....soon we also had about 8 baby rats running around on our step. Wasnt going over well with the household. I run a wildlife rehab centre, and counsel people over the phone all the time about humane solutions to wildlife issues. Sooooo, moved the feeder to the back fence......the rats followed. About 2 days later an first year red tailed hawk....was perched on our clothesline pole....intently staring at the feeder. To make a long story short..one month later and he's Still here...rats are gone, and the small birds at the feeder ignore him as they know he is not a threat to them. Amazing to see this bird UP CLOSE everyday...got some good pics too, I hope he stays Helene --Boundary_(ID_m9lBa1SHor/c77iD3/M//A) Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.5730.11" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=257230015-27122006>A few months ago.....we put up several bird feeders on our fromt step...lovely...chickadees...nuthatches, juncos etc. One day there was a large rat sitting on our step....helping himself to the food....long story short.....soon we also had about 8 baby rats running around on our step.
