    Bat from Canada

    Good pics In my area, the big brown bat seems to have filled the void left by the declining numbers of little brown bats. The big brown is also more likely to hibernate compared to the little brown. Makes sense for Canada in November. I have seen a lot of bat activity with the warmer temps...

    Ct weasel

    Just wanted to share. I was evicting flying squirrels from a home, with a one way door and holding cage set over an opening when this guy came out. The weasel was hunting Flyers in the attic and ceiling spaces of the home. Pretty amazing and weasels while maybe not rare are not common either...

    Red Squirrel Feeders

    Do red and grey squirrels occur in the same places, I thought it was one or the other. Red and Grays can occur in the same areas if the natural food sources/habitat for both are present, esp. with the Reds. Rhode Island and North West Ct are good examples of this...

    Owls

    Shark attack beat me to it. Calling has worked great for us. I will add that we have used a cassette tape and CDs with the Owl calls on them to call (as well as natural voice) The tapes and CDs can't be beat for results. I've had barred Owls land on the gutter , above my head while we were...
