Natural chipmunk control.

[Dogman]

No chipmunk problems around here .... or those pesky noisey songbirds either.
She's out here almost every evening with her young ones, this was the first time we've seen her in the birdbath.

Great closeup photo's Dogman

We had a Huge Red-Headed Wood Peck that landed by our home on an old Silver Maple tree stump and would hammer on the stump daily.

I did get a short closeup video of the bird on video that turned out great. I would like to upload it to a You Tube video, if I knew how to to it...

Nice hawk. What kind is it?

 

[Scutter01]

I use tiny little leashes. They work great for chipmunk control.

Cooper's Hawk. That one's young; it does not yet have its adult colors, which are typically acquired during the second year.

The birdbath is where she goes to wait for some eats!

Is it a Red headed or a Pileated Woodpecker?
Here's a Pileated they get about 15 inches long.
The pictures aren't great even with a zoom lens, they are a vary bird and it's difficult to get anywhere near them. We have a pair each year show up and what you can't see is just above this one on the tree there's another one but they wouldn't stay close enough together for me to get a picture of both.

I like the choker collars best they don't seem to pull as much.

It is a pileated woodpecker. As you have probably noticed, their vocalizing can be quite loud.

OOPS my mistake. I misread Dogmans one post. He was asking if it is a pileated woodpecker. I mistook the pictures as if they were of the original post.

These are the kind of chipmunks we have around here:

Just wait until you see the Cooper's hawk snag a sparrow out of mid air!

Your probably to young to remember when they would grow large in the wild and you could catch them and saddle break them to ride. A lot of fun to ride, of course you had to be careful in the fall, if they caught the smell of a ripe sunflower field ready to be harvested they would destroy the field in a couple of hours. Of course then we would have to put them down, but we've have a BBQ and invite friends and family over.
