My son gave me a hunting blind for Christmas. It is lightweight, pitches itself (it's spring loaded), folds down to a small size, and packs into it's own nylon backpack. He gave it to me because he knew I wanted it to use for hunting with a camera. With a camera I can shoot critters over and over and there is no clean-up.
I decided to test it today by putting it up in the backyard near the bird feeder. We have lots of birds visit us, and I was hoping that a pair of blue jays that are always in the area would visit. After waiting and waiting, I was then hoping for mourning doves, ...then sparrows, waited some more, grackles would have been ok.
No birds ever flew in, but this mama squirrel came by and checked out the new structure in the yard, and then fed on seed that had fallen below the feeder. She looks she like has some babies she is feeding. I hope she brings them by in a few weeks.
