Maybe you put out tastier stuff to eat. ---

I have tried a lot of different suet for the birds and it seem as their preference changes with the temperature or seasons. Had to have a talk with Zeus because I found some raccoon scat in the corn tray. He needs to watch better. :::: Grump :::: ---

Had 406 pictures when I checked today. Wind has switched to Northerly and the temperature if falling. Zeus is loving it. [20 pics, a lot of the “Woody” Family. Also the cat from next door.](https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipN5CA2itu7w2l2QHA8-EWYPMEXumagEnTYTEvmKLpHzcQWi9X2pW7iNcF2ygX4-Zg/photo/AF1QipMf4wVehhBkVqN0bhskMimOO6NXbrCX-Bv1BX_a?key=MHZiU3BPMmtQcUg2REQ4Q1plSjY4Uk5ORDNWbG5n) ---

1647 pictures from three cameras today. Mostly the same 4-6 does eating the corn. Bawahahahaa So I only took the pictures that caught my eye as I went through them. ended up with … [60. I even only used about half of the big Woody the Woodpecker family that I got.](https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipN5CA2itu7w2l2QHA8-EWYPMEXumagEnTYTEvmKLpHzcQWi9X2pW7iNcF2ygX4-Zg/photo/AF1QipPkdMVn9A1vg6w2pVb5M-HX5HfNPwzjDJITIeV2?key=MHZiU3BPMmtQcUg2REQ4Q1plSjY4Uk5ORDNWbG5n) Enjoy… ---

True ‘winter is coming’ signs have arrived. We’ve started to rehome wildlife that wants to come inside from the cold - one mouse and three freakin’ huge spiders in the last 24 hours. The mouse was a healthy-looking specimen, too. ---

I Sympathize & Empathize. 6 kitties & local owls = few rodents. Bigger problems are fixed by 110# of Zeus. The deer still out run him but he has finally figured out how to hide and so start from a lot closer. They still out run him but he is having a lot more fun this way. ---

Spider #4 was just escorted out. Husband says we need to start banding/barcoding these things to track movement. We used to have a black snake that lived under the house who took care of the rodents. They’re still around but I guess we need more of 'em! ---

I am fine with big lazy slow moving spiders. Ambushing ones like the Black Widow, Brown Recluse, not so much. Loves me some black snakes & lizards that eat mosquitoes. I like the way your husband thinks. ---

Our spiders are [these](http://www.spiders.us/species/hogna-carolinensis/), the Carolina Wolf Spider. They are fast! And huge. ---

We get those too, but they are only kinda big, not huge. ---

20 foot rage bug gun spray stream from a high elevation seems just the ticket for those. Rather have to deal with a Wolf than the Wolf-Spider. YMMV ---

A coyote just ambled across our back yard. Nice coat and tail, not scrawny. We’re about 400 feet from the beach. ---

I like coyotes. Ones on the mountain when I lived there were seldom a problem for dogs & cats and such. They had many food sources apparently. Smart critters. Cool you got to see one on your place. ---
