It is the time of year when we start noticing road kill My friend S noticed a dead Canada goose on the sidewalk the other day, she could barely look at it, just brought it to my attention. It is sad.
In other news husband M trapped his first chipmunk, I will spare you the photos. He drove it about 5 miles away, hopefully that is far enough. He put sunflower seeds, peanuts in shell and peanut butter in the trap. The creature ate everything, it shelled the nuts and sunflower seeds. They love peanut butter, in fact, M thinks just peanut butter is enough of a lure.
I hope the chipmunk won't be back for more! Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThis is same here for mice but they are so clever and hardly came in trap.
ReplyDeleteFelt bad for moose dear friend
Careful ... modern chipmunks have GPS satellite navigation systems.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Peanut butter is a real treat for them!
ReplyDeletethey do love peanut butter and will travel miles to eat it,, lol,,they also have a good memory lol,,
ReplyDeleteOh Laurie!
DeleteI love wildflowers. We've been, I should say my husband's been busy relocating squirrels from our yard. He says you have to take them on the other side of a body of water and far enough away so they don't find their way back.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen one of those hit by a car.
ReplyDeleteGood point
DeleteChipmunks are cute, but they can be really destructive. I hope the relocation works.
ReplyDeleteLove those wildflowers …
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
All the best Jan
Hope the relocation works well! Well done!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of relocation. He got off to a good start with that full belly!
ReplyDeleteLove the wildflowers, too. Great photo, Christine.
i would think that would be far enough away unless they particularly liked what you put in the trap - ...they may be back for seconds~~ i wish I still had them around here - the fet cats have scared them away. Although i know they can be real pests.
ReplyDeletepeanut butter works great for catching most rodents, best thing for mice :)
ReplyDeletenot a lot of road kill right now, thankfully
Better becareful or the tiny critter is going to spread the word of a great place to eat and then they take you for a drive in the country :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wildflower photo!!!
Love wildflowers...used to say I wanted to plow up the backyard and just have them growing all over and thick....then I thought of the possibly that maybe if they did not grow thick then I would have to keep them weeded....yep, never happened. HAHA..Road KILL YUCK.
ReplyDeleteWe tried the relocation method in Illinois, but there seemed to be two more waiting where the one we relocated came from.
ReplyDeleteUmmm.... I posted about this and was told that it was cruel because we’d taken it away from his chipmunk community. It’s hard because we didn’t want to kill it.
