SpaceX booster landing experiment fails, but space flight goes on successfully!

The attempted experimental soft landing of a SpaceX rocket booster on a platform at sea on Saturday failed, company CEO Elon Musk said in a tweet. "Rocket made it to drone spaceport ship, but landed hard. Close, but no cigar this time," he said. But he felt it "bodes well for the future."

Good or bad? What some studies suggest...

Ahhh, just feed em, help our lil Dees and Junkies to survive!!! The problem I have with feeding is that darn Coop!!

Donna I consider the hawks as still feeding the birds just on another level. But I do have a big old fashioned rose bush not three feet from the feeder for the little ones to dive into, seems to work the hawk doesn't stay long.

We have lots of bushes for them to escape to and sometimes the Coop goes over and flushes them out. I only saw him with one Sparrow, so far. Yes, Coops must eat too but not in my yard.

I try to not feed them all the time even in the winter. I let it run out every few days and they go find natural food. It sometimes takes a day for them to get the word out that I refilled the feeders. And I really only feed sunflower seeds. I'll get a bag of peanuts if they're on sale, but not very often.

They seem to do well and I haven't noticed any real change in the number of birds.

Oh heck, I go through over 10 lbs of peanuts a week! Sometimes more. They hide most and come right back for more, the Blue Jays, Squirrels and now the BIG black Crows are out there every morning......waiting! I won't get into sunflower seeds!! Yikes!
