Marty, what did I do wrong here. I tried twice and I just get a wallpaper. takes a long time to download also.

You can resize images easily with the Image Resizer tool found here... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

I had a look at the properties of your image and the file is likely too big.

i'll fix it, not sure. i just did one and had no pic but i forgot to hit one button. its not the simplest thing. at least it exists.

wasn't very big, the image. 600kb

Elbert, you must own "Bird Dogs" that can reach their food.

I do have a bird dog but he think that means ornithology.
The birds love dog food and i started putting it in the feeders last year, wow the results, yesterday a flock Yucatan jays chowed down on it.

How can I keep the grackles from stealing my dog's food?

Jesse, I think I'm about to shock you.
I shoot grackles, they are a murderous, mean, petulance to my other birds. I pick out the alpha male in the flock and shoot him with a rifle. This makes the 4 or 5 females he keeps in his harem go away looking for another male. I'm sure thats not good press for a birdlover but the truth.

I AM SHOCKED!!!

but I agree that grackles are mean nasty birds...

if scurvy don't finish his chow, there is a herd of yellow orioles that will gladly clean his bowl for him!
