What a pretty picture, John!

Does your owl work? Last week I had crows topple some 8-10" corn plants by shredding the base of the stalks trying to pull them up for the seed, I assume. Not too clever, as the plants were too big and any seed casing would have been rotted back into the dirt. Since I grow a limited amount of sweet corn in raised beds, it was a nasty loss to me. I found my old plastic guardian owl and stuck it on a post, but since the crows didn't get their tasty little treats, I doubt they'll be back for more anyway.
