That's not too bad. My local winged waker upper likes to play high steal riveter on eaves troughs.
I've gone out as early as 3 am to chase him off. He comes back in minutes.
Just something you live with.

My mama told me there'll be days like this.

Hey, is that my suet on your face?

When I sold the old homestead almost 20 years ago now that is one thing I wish I had taken cuttings from.
My mothers rose bush was old and absolutely huge. When it started to bloom in early summer it went until the frosts.
As a little guy I remember my mother making my Kindergarten teacher a bouquet and sending it to school with me.
It never required any special care.
And the aroma...
I don't know who or when it was planted.
I hope it's still there.

I cut it way back last Fall, I was afraid I cut too much since it was up over the roof gutter. We throw banana peels on it and a handful of Milorganite...but I know very little about roses. My grandmother next door had islands around their yard and I do that here.
One is mostly roses, not blooming much yet.
This is newest one I started in the Fall, Autumn Blaze maple to left, a few bushes and Peony.

I have to cage the roses here or the deer will eat them to the ground.
Mine are still on bud stage, everything getting ready to flower out.

Red-breasted nuthatch is a small songbird. The adult has blue-grey upperparts with cinnamon underparts, a white throat and face with a black stripe through the eyes, a straight grey bill and a black crown. Its call, which has been likened to a tin trumpet, is high-pitched and nasal.

Just another very wet Jay.
