 Hummingbird
The hummingbird will perch on branches near a feeder and 'guard' it. No matter if it is hungry or not, it will chase away another bird from a feeder it considers all its own. The antics are funny to watch as they zip around the house and through the yard. And while the two are chasing, a third may have snuck in to your feeder to get a drink! Unless you have a very large population of hummingbirds, they will become territorial, especially at mating time. |

 Protect Your Dog For example, at temperatures of 40, 50, 60 or even 70 degrees Fahrenheit (depending on humidity levels) leaving your dog in the car can turn into a fatality. Dog heat stroke happens fast. Many places have laws about leaving an animal unattended in a vehicle and the places that don't, should.
Think about it! If it's 70 degrees, humidity is low but all the car windows are rolled up with a 1-3" opening, the car is in the direct sun, or even the shade, and you're leaving your dog in the car for more than 10 minutes, could this be a problem?

 Don't Get Caught
Keeping Cars Safe: AAA reports receiving 29 million roadside assistance calls every year, with 13 million of those requiring towing, usually to a repair shop.
"Before you take that warm-weather road trip, it's critical to pay attention to a few very crucial items-tire and batteries are very important," said Robert Sinclair, of AAA. "Batteries don't last forever, so they need to be checked to make sure that they are clean, and if the battery is more than three years old, have a load check performed. Also make sure tires are properly inflated." |

 Maintain Your Pond
First of all, in order to avoid disturbing the life that is already in your pond, try to do your spring chores before the water gets warmer than 10 degrees C. This will allow you to have the pond ready for the time when the fish, plants and frogs begin to emerge again.
The amount of work that you will need to do in your pond in order to prepare for spring will depend on what the winter was like. Be sure to keep this in mind as you begin to prepare your pond for spring and summer. Although your pond's water will look it's cleanest and clearest just before spring starts, don't assume that this means it actually is at its cleanest. |
