Hello from southwest Idaho. I have been reading all the posts on this forum, and the old DRST forum, and have picked up valuable tips.
I purchased a trap from Blaine a couple weeks ago and have been catching juvenile HOSP.
In addition to the 35 birds I caught two garter snakes. The last snake ate one of my decoy birds and was unable to exit through the hardware cloth cage because of the lump in him. Anyone else ever catch a snake? We never saw them here until the caged birds attracted them, and we spend a lot of time in the yard and garden.
Best wishes to you all.
Walt
