Some people don’t like squirrels in their bird watching area
November 15th, 2008Some people don’t like squirrels in their bird watching area. If you don’t want these bushy tailed visitors eating your birdseed, you may want to try and repel them. You can find special bird feeders that come with squirrel guards already equipped. Another type of apparatus that you may want to get is a feeder tray. This prevents waste from seeds being dropped on the ground. You will find plenty of supplies at your garden store or home improvement store to choose from.
You will want to identify the birds that come to your yard. This is why books should also be on your list of must-have bird watching supplies. You can find comprehensive volumes with all birds listed and local guides that help you identify birds in your area. Here are some ideas for bird identification books: Backyard Bird Identification Guide by Jerry G. Walls and the Audubon Backyard Birdwatcher by Robert Burton and Steven Kress.
