Some pictures of my favorite jeeping trails near Ouray, CO. You need a 4xdrive with high clearance. For Corkscrew Gulch Rd, you might also need a extra pair of underwear.

If you just want to get away for a quick trip close to home, go to Palmetto Island State Park, 6 miles south of Abbeville.
nice, new cabins with SAT TV
dog friendly, yes.
No real "hiking" to speak of. The Lagoon Trail is a straight end and out, with a small bayou running on the side of it. It's a...

When the goldfinch come, it brings the Sharp-Shinned Hawk. That's cool to watch too.

[quote] that does work, but I get fewer birds over all[/quote]That's my experience as well. The only time I ever had a painted bunting at my feeder, it was with a multi-blend. Think your trap and drown idea is best.

Try switching to straight black oil sunflower seeds. It's more expensive than a multi-blend, but in the long run, I save money. Don't know if house sparrows are just looking for a quick meal, and too lazy to crack the ...

Flying Squirrel
Posted by cajuntigertowm on 1/26/12 at 11:50 pm
I was cleaning out a wood duck box a couple of days ago, and found a flying squirrel in it. It flew out of the box to an adjacent tree. I've lived on the natural levee of bayou Vermilion for years, never seeing a flying squirrel before. Have since learned they're an endangered species. Even though ...
