The brush piles are incredible bird magnets during the winter--they
provide relatively warm roosting locales and safe havens from hawks
and other marauders. During the warmer months, unfortunately, they
have a tendency to draw wood rats. While wood rats are indigenous
and relatively harmless, try telling that to your spouse AND your
neighbors. |
