August of last year I thought I lucked out and found a nice big “chicken of the woods” in a nearby park. Didn’t take long to ID it as a...
[ATTACH] Northern flicker, making a rare feeder visit. One of our favorite birds here.
A little late here, but for posterity, this was the thing/process. Cost us $700 plus change.
We found a similar mushroom (well, a few of them) on a hike outside Gatlinburg, TN in September of 2020. Admired them but left them alone. They...
This year was a banner year for our white pines; more pollen and cones than we’ve seen in prior years, hands-down. So, we saw crossbills for the...
They’re certainly a serviceable replacement, though not identical to shellfish (most specifically lump crabmeat). They’re very good, though.
We like to make them into “crab cakes”. This is the recipe we use. I do not add salt; just the Old Bay. We like to sweat the mushrooms over medium...
Feedercam is back up and running. On a rainy day like today, it’s fun to stream the live video to our tv inside. Better than anything else on, I’m...
We thought the juncos got here early, too, though no actual data to support it. Just ‘felt early’, based on our short years living in WI and...
Yep it’s on the list! And a better skinning knife. Plus I need to set up a station using some spare 4x4’s I have around. For now, though, other...
This was back in May. Orioles, titmice, and chickadees went crazy for this used coco fiber we put out. [ATTACH] We’ve had good luck with birds,...

They make for a dandy little soup if you cotton to the earthy/nutty flavor. We dress ours with a drizzle of high quality olive oil, fresh green...
[ATTACH] Nice little find not too long ago. Golden oysters.
We started seeing stragglers maybe 2 weeks ago or so - now they’re here in force with occasional white throated sparrows mixed in.
[ATTACH] First attempt at skinning - practice really. This was back in August. I was using a filet knife, which got the job done, but put a couple...
They are suckers for grape jelly and will return each year if you supply it. We have also tried orange rounds and special oriole nectar feeders,...
Ours left Rock County, WI early October. We haven’t seen stragglers.
A little competition…[ATTACH]
We’ll do one more after this one - don’t want to hijack too much like I did in the “What Are You Listening To” thread… :whistle:[ATTACH]
