I have them around my yard and just look out for them. I really like to see all the birds and I am finally fixing my feeders and birdbath and our little pond mostly for the birds. They love the pond. We have flat rocks all around it and try to have some set so the birds can get right down to the water. I had several feeders but the deer kept destroying them. I have to get them higher in the air and figure a way to keep the squirrels from destroying them. Squirrels will empty out a feeder just for fun.
On another note we were having a slight mouse issue in the garage and all of a sudden we don't see them anymore. Two weeks ago I went into the room in the back of the garage and saw an 18" long king snake. Good job little buddy.
