Follow-up To Squirrel Wars



Squirrels won.

I gave in and bought a new feeder. One that has spring loaded tray doors that will close under too much weight so squirrels or heavy birds can't get at the seeds.


The new feeder, as you can see is double sided and I can see how much seed is in it. The old feeder is now hanging under the deck where the Fuschia plant hung all summer. I think I'll leave the original feeder under the deck, that way the heavier birds like blue jays or mourning doves can still feed.

AND I'm sure the squirrels will climb the post holding up the deck and jump into the feeder. So be it. It will be stocked with the cheapest seed I can find. So there!
