I do not know how feeders work but I imagine they release food at different intervals? If all the different wildlife out there know where the food is located is there ever fights between them?
ReplyDeleteI mean not of the same species like the above picture but say between a mountain lion and a bear?
PS, we got 3.2 rain last night here, and about 3.5 gallons of lighting and thunder, the dogs were all in bed with us shivering till about the time I get up @ 4:00 am.
DeleteThere were tornados s/e of of, we were lucky I guess.
MsB, I am going to try to take a photo of the feeder motor tomorrow, and post it, so you can get an idea of how it works. I have to install 2 new ones next time I'm out there, so, I have them already. The fox and Bobcat, both wait at the feeder to ambush rabbit's, etc, I have not caught a mountaqin lion yet, however, I have found deer carcas's close to camp, so I think they are hunting there as well. Anywhere you have water and feed, there will be a confrontaion in my opinion.

Yes predators watch the feeder for an animal small enough to prey on, I will give a more detailed explanation this weekend if I can get rid of these danged auditors at work. I got home abot 8:45 last night and tonight, they don't seem to understand that I get to work at 6:00ish, when they get there at 9:00ish, they want me to stay till they are ready to leave for the day!
ReplyDeleteStay dry and warm.

Thanks Suerte. No rush on the feeder motor, I know you are a busy man. Was just curious about the animal confrontations but as you mentioned where there is food and water there undoubtebly will be.
