Snowbird of Paradise<p><strong>Thoughts About Backyard Birds</strong></p><p>I am thankful for all the comforts I have, and they are many. I live in a lovely condo in a lovely city, in a lovely Canadian province. I have a reliable income and fairly good health. My life includes food, shelter, furnishings, hobbies, memorabilia, exercise, and community. And, until today, I had birds.</p> <p>Today I was told that I had to take down my bird feeder. I could keep the hummingbird feeder, but the seed feeder had to go.</p><p>Ever since I read the condo bylaws, which was several weeks after I moved in, I knew that bird feeders were not allowed. But by then I already knew their shortcomings. Depending on the type of seed, the type of feeder, and the varieties of birds, overspilled seeds and husks can attract rodents. In my neighbourhood those include field mice and racoons.</p><p>Consequently, I did everything I could to limit the possibility of visits from rodents while continuing to encourage visits from birds. I discussed the problem with the local <a href="https://thebackyard.ca/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Backyard Birds</a> store staff and they advised me to add a catch tray, to use the smallest de-husked seed, and to fill my feeder only to about one-third of its height. That way very little seed would be spread beyond the catch tray.</p> <p>In addition, I swept below and around the feeder quite frequently to ensure that no stray seeds lingered among the brick tiles of my patio. I thought I was doing my neighbourly best, but it seems that is not enough.</p><p>The delight I take in watching the various finches, robins, blackbirds, and wrens every day cannot be compared to the risk of rodents visiting the patios of my neighbours who might also want to have bird feeders on their patios. It’s an all-for-one and one-for-all kind of regulation. I know this because the maintenance man explained it to me today.</p><p>I have always had a good relationship with the maintenance man, and he was quite dismayed to have been the bearer of bad news in telling me that the strata council (aka HOA) wanted him to tell me to take down my bird feeder. But, as he told me this, I was struck by two, equally disturbing, realizations. The first was that I would have to take down my feeder. The second was that they had used the maintenance man to deliver their directive.</p> <p>When I let him know I would no longer be using my feeder, and as I walked away, I wrestled with which issue bothered me most; the need to remove the feeder or that fact that the council had not approached me directly. Now that the feeder has been removed, dismantled, and put away, I am left with a gnawing disgruntlement.</p><p>As I write, I am watching birds fly by my patio, looking for the absent feeder, while I ponder the choices made by my condo council. I know very little about the council, but using the friendly maintenance man as bylaw officer does not sit well with me.</p><p>I’m going to miss the birds and am trying to think of ways to redirect some of that grief into positive energy, although that may take a while. Perhaps I should run for a seat on council. Hmmm.</p><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/animals/" target="_blank">#animals</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/backyard/" target="_blank">#backyard</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/bird-feeder/" target="_blank">#birdFeeder</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/birds/" target="_blank">#Birds</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/blackbirds/" target="_blank">#blackbirds</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/finches/" target="_blank">#finches</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/hummingbirds/" target="_blank">#hummingbirds</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/husks/" target="_blank">#husks</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/nature/" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/photography/" target="_blank">#Photography</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/relationships/" target="_blank">#Relationships</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/robins/" target="_blank">#robins</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/rodents/" target="_blank">#rodents</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/society/" target="_blank">#Society</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://snowbirdofparadise.com/tag/wildlife/" target="_blank">#wildlife</a></p>

Inside the Red Head's Head<p><strong>54</strong></p><p>I was thinking about doing something with this post where I post an image with the old Studio 54 logo. Having lived through the disco era and today being my 54th birthday, I figured that would be funny. Then I realized it would not be funny at all, it would be dumb. So I changed my mind and just went with this.</p><p>Today is my birthday. I am 54 years old. I am NOT happy about it. When I was 53 years old I could sort of convince myself that 53 is still your early 50’s. At 54 I can’t do that anymore. I am firmly entrenched in my mid 50’s and again, I am NOT happy about it.</p><p>The weather is nice right now. That’s good. Of course the forecast is calling for rain later so that’s fitting. Blah. I filled the bird feeders because I wanted those little monsters to have a nice celebration on my birthday. I took a couple of pictures. This one is with the aperture wide open, f1.8. Blurry background, babie!</p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/robj_1971/54505261886/in/datetaken/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/robj_1971/54505261886/in/datetaken/</a></p><p>This next one is the opposite. This one has the aperture closed down as far as it goes. f22, which means the shutter speed is super slow which is why it’s a little soft on the focus. Image stabilization helps, but it’s not perfect. Note that the background is not blurry at all. </p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/robj_1971/54505452014/in/datetaken/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/robj_1971/54505452014/in/datetaken/</a></p><p>Now when you compare the two photos you know how your lens aperture controls your depth of field. See? You didn’t realize I was going to give you all a photography lesson for my birthday, but there you go. Happy birthday, hohoho.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/365/" target="_blank">#365</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/365-challenge/" target="_blank">#365Challenge</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/365-project/" target="_blank">#365Project</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/54/" target="_blank">#54</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/54-years-old/" target="_blank">#54YearsOld</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/bird-feeder/" target="_blank">#birdFeeder</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/bird-feeders/" target="_blank">#birdFeeders</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/birthday/" target="_blank">#birthday</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/iphoneography/" target="_blank">#iphoneography</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/my-birthday/" target="_blank">#myBirthday</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/photo-a-day/" target="_blank">#photoADay</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/photo-a-day-challenge/" target="_blank">#photoADayChallenge</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/photo-a-day-project/" target="_blank">#photoADayProject</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/photography/" target="_blank">#photography</a></p>

Inside the Red Head's Head<p><strong>Baffle</strong></p><p>I saw how the squirrels are getting around the anti-squirrel baffle I have on my bird feeder rig. I looked out the window just in time to see one of those little rodent pricks simply jump over it. I had been trying to imagine some complicated method they were using to thwart my defenses and it was just an athletic little sucker jumping really high. Asshole.</p><p>I went outside and raised it up quite a bit. Hopefully that will be enough. We’ll see.</p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/robj_1971/54425291235/in/datetaken/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/robj_1971/54425291235/in/datetaken/</a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/backyard-bird-feeders/" target="_blank">#backyardBirdFeeders</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/backyard-wild-kingdom/" target="_blank">#BackyardWildKingdom</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/bird-feeder/" target="_blank">#birdFeeder</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/iphoneography/" target="_blank">#iphoneography</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/photography/" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/squirrel/" target="_blank">#squirrel</a></p>
Inside the Red Head's Head<p><strong>Dinner Time</strong></p><p>I filled the bird feeders this morning before I started work. Look at me just ringing that dinner bell for all of the birds. Also for the squirrels. I’ve seen one little bastard get around my anti-squirrel baffle. I don’t know how the little shit managed it but now I need to invest in a gun*.</p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/robj_1971/54415670020/in/datetaken/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/robj_1971/54415670020/in/datetaken/</a></p> <p>*I am kidding. I am not planning on shooting any squirrels. If there is a zombie apocalypse and I need to eat squirrels to survive then I reserve the right to change my stance. Until then, however, I will just hate those little rodent fuckers from afar.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/backyard-bird-feeders/" target="_blank">#backyardBirdFeeders</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/backyard-wild-kingdom/" target="_blank">#BackyardWildKingdom</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/bird/" target="_blank">#bird</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/bird-feeder/" target="_blank">#birdFeeder</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/birds/" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/photography/" target="_blank">#photography</a></p>
