A Bird Book and the Hospital
Today I was supposed to write about the term bird book. But instead I sit in the intensive care unit at Shore Memorial Hospital one block from the bay in South Jersey. I did notice some rather large sea gulls early this morning by the marina.My mother is not doing so well, she’s had a heart attack, and when they went to move her to do the stent, they discovered pneumonia had set in along with a blood infection. So now it’s complicated as she’s on a ventilator to breathe easier. This person doesn’t look like my mother, who walked into the hospital just last week with all her faculties about her, of sound mind, now in an induced coma.

Pretty Squirrel Baffles
Protect bird feeders from squirrels and rain in high style with attractive squirrel baffles. No longer are they required to be industrial-like hunks of metal. With graceful shapes, some now have detailed touches that actually make them pretty!The baffle shown here, is an extra large 20-inch model by Parasol. It has an etched design of natural images like twigs and flowers. Because it’s done in powder coated metal, it will last for years of use and enjoyment. Keeping feeders free from squirrels and the damage they do, it also shields the feeder’s ports from rain or extreme sun.

Add a Squirrel Baffle-Sit Back & Relax!
Tired of pesky squirrels damaging your bird feeders, raiding birdseed and stealing suet? No problem with use of a good squirrel baffle. When placed correctly, they’re amazingly effective at keeping squirrels at bay. The main trick is placement, height and vertical distance from any possible launching point for squirrels. Remember, these critters are excellent acrobats, they can jump sideways up to eight feet, and up to six feet high!Whether hanging, pole mounted on a shepherd’s hook, or post mounted on a 4×4 post, a squirrel baffle will really solve this invasive, annoying, and frustrating problem. They’re simple to install, and made to last. This pole-mounted version actually opens and clamps around the shepherd’s hook or pole.
