A reader has sent me a photo taken clandestinely.
This may explain how the enemy maintains that sustained attack on the bird feeders.
This may even explain why I had no coffee beans this morning!

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful. Zelle and Wise are better, but PayPal is convenient.
A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?
For a one time donation...
To donate monthly I prefer Zelle because it doesn't extract fees. Use

PLEASE RESPOND. Pretty pleeeease?
Loading ...This is really useful when travelling… and also when you aren’t and you need backup internet NOW! I use this for my DMR “Zednet” hotspot when I’m mobile. It’s a ham radio thing.
If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

Is this Sciurus super or Sciurus fidens?
“What devastation of the feeders I have wrought!”
Love it!
No! Its RJ Sciurus!
Oh, that picture was funny!
Had to be Vincenzo’s doing….
Needed a laugh this morning-just read on EWTN’s website that BO picked his candidate for Ambassador to the Holy See: a Cuban-American LIBERATION THEOLOGIAN!
As Dilbert says, GAAH!
This is what my dog has been warning me about for years, but I never
listened to her!
Just get some kryptonite and scatter it around the feeders.
LOL!
Here, we have to take bird feeders in in the spring, and put them back out only in the fall. Bears, you see, love bird seed.
Choice!
