My feeders are finally up again, after a hiatus of weeks due to a visiting groundhog, and a neighbor's cat.  The groundhog, whom I've named Fred, is about the size of my working Border Collie.  Fred was OK under the woodpile, until he decided to dig a burrow at the front of the house by the foundation.  A trapper has a cage set up for Fred's new adventure. I shot the neighbor's cat using a water pistol, and haven't seen it for awhile.  It seemed like a good time to set the feeders back up.
