I'll make this post just like the week was SHORT and SWEET! Only three days of birding but a decent total of 22 birds. The feeders were fairly quiet for the week with only 7 species.

We have a new mammal on campus, a
Norway Rat. The rat has also been enjoying the bird feeders but not for long. Curious that with the addition of the rat, there has been a visible reduction of bird activity at the feeders. Is it coincidence?

What do you mean by The rat has been enjoying the feeders, but not for long... do you have a plan for evicting it? ps I miss birding at West Campus - though I did see a Peregrine Falcon perch on Kline Bio Tower a few weeks ago!
