A "Polite Notice" was written at a restaurant. It basically declared...They "Suggest while people wait on their food, to take a walk, feed the seagulls, watch the ocean waves, sit and relax, etc. Adding "Please remember to chill" and then shows their web address... www.dontbesuchamiserablesod.com<br />Really, what a clod to remove those feeders. At the very least, you would hope that it was someone who will use them to feed their own birds and not use for target practice. Beautiful birding shots.

A couple of mine have been stolen but we have racoons around here and they steal anything with food in it. I loved all your bird photos. The English robin is always a favorite of mine but the Goldfinch is a pretty one too. I also have never seen a pink footed goose before.

And thing is, the feeders are NOT all that expensive...why when you compare the cost of gas/petro to get there to steal 'em...why bother?<br /><br />Now you got me P O'd. Just today I had a confrontation with a couple of men/young men...but still old enough to know better. The sign at the reserve...large enough to see from the parking lot...it states NO PETS beyond this point. What do they do? Bring their hunting dogs in and walking along the trail, dogs barking and howling...upsetting the waterfowl. <br /><br />Alas. People.<br /><br />Yep, me too Phil. When Christmas if over, it's over. The very next day I'm packing things away and getting life back to 'normal'.<br /><br />Love the finch...it's looking right at you/your lens. How awesome is that?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your link today at I'd Rather B Birdin'.Anni https://www.blogger.com/profile/11805303710992562752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-12363322616632058782014-12-27T21:24:20.006+00:002014-12-27T21:24:20.006+00:00Great birds and crazy to steel a feeder.Great birds and crazy to steel a feeder.sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653385845920275345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-56941437959222669832014-12-27T20:23:50.866+00:002014-12-27T20:23:50.866+00:00Feeders taken by a tight-wad, no doubt.
