My Backyard

Here I am snapping some photos in my backyard. This is my primary bird viewing area. I've been feeding them and providing nesting boxes for 3 seasons now. I have lots of hummingbirds, eastern bluebirds, common grackles, cardinals, mourning doves, sparrows, wrens and mockingbirds. Occasionally I will see blue jays, red-winged blackbirds, cattle egrets, and woodpeckers. I've recently started to get some squirrels too. Today I caught one of the squirrels on top of the bat house. The first season with bat house I would count 70+ bats living in the house, but they have not been back for 2 seasons. Let me know if you have any ideas why they won't come back. They helped with controlling the mosquito population.
