    I bought a bat house thinking I would just put it up like any bird house. Was I ever wrong. 20-30 ft high, not in the shade. Don't climb, so the bat house waits in the garage until I find a home for it.

    Found a 6+ foot long black snake one year and about half a dozen copperheads a year or two later. That was before our Jack Russell Terrier now snakes don't stand a chance!

    I can attest to that fact too, fellas. Pound for pound, they are probably one of the fiercest dogs ever. Also very VERY loyal......

    I seem to always find those too! I'm gonna grab a beer and head out there to see if I can figure out where they are coming from.

    I know even my wife doesn't believe me. :rolleyes: I was "in the zone" getting chores done, it didn't even cross my mind to snap a picture. I planted the garlic. Maybe I'll find a nest lined with garlic husk, I'll get a picture of that, just for you:)

    Not anything too strange, but I have several chipmunks hanging around my stacks. This summer, when I was piling my wood, I removed some weeds and other stuff from the area that I was going to pile. I found a very small oak sapling growing out from under the old crappy pile. It had 5 or 6 leaves on it. So I dug it out and it still had the acorn attached. A chipmunk or squirrel must have dropped it from the spruce over head as the closest oak is a couple hundred feet away in my neighbours yard.

    I then moved it to a spot along side of my fence near where my transplanted 3 year old, 2 foot high black walnut is. I figure in about 20 years or so, both may be high enough to see over the wild turnip that seems to grow everywhere.
