Harry,

Seriously, you need to stop screwing around with mother nature. Your good
natured attempts at helping the critters is screwing them up royally. The
last things birds need is something that will keep them from flying south.
If you heated bird bath delays one bird from leaving, you have just killed
one bird.

You feeding animals human food is ruining their natural fear of humans,
providing them with food that will not provide them with the nutrition they
need and causing them to rely on humans for their food instead of finding
food naturally. This is particularly bad when mothers teach their new born
to use humans as a source for their food.

It appears that your NPD knows no species limitations. You will screw up
mother nature as much as you screw up humans. As long as you get to see
some critters eating your turkey carcass, you really don't care what it does
to the animals.

I usually look out in the yard just after dawn to see what birds are
visiting, but it was 17F earlier, and there was no one there. I did notice,
though, that the foil tray I put out last night with the turkey carcass and
some kitty chow was empty. You can just make it out in the background
towards the far left.

Today, I'll put out the heated birdbath.

Winter sucks.

people's
fantasies of themselves, their wishful thinking,"

"Narcissists' fantasies are tableaux or scenes, stage sets; narcissists
are hung up on a particular picture that they think reflects their true
selves (as opposed to the real self -- warts and all). Narcissists don't
see
themselves doing anything except being adored, and they don't see anyone
else doing anything except adoring them. "
