The only problem is that the ones who are used to that location would be upset and searching for it. It would also probably take an hour for any of them to trust a new location. :lol: Lil would also undoubtedly have it staked out by then! :cat: She's a terrible murder-mouth. I think that her bell collar has helped some, but she hunts pretty much all day long. She'll even raid nests if she can get to them. :twisted:

This guy decided that a new shoot from my wisteria makes for a good spot from which to guard his feeder on my office porch. He looks like he's had a rough morning, doesn't he?

The juvies seem easier to capture. He was pretty curious about what I was up to.
