Squirrel-Proof Feeders!


Be sure to get one of these twenty-dollar, squirrel-proof, bird feeders for your little feathered friends. Available at fine stores everywhere.
We've actually bought several different types and they all work about the same -- like this one!
We had a plastic tub out on the patio in which to keep the sunflower seeds, but not only did the squirrels chew through it to eat the seeds, a raccoon came up at night to help polish them off.
When we scare off the squirrels, we enjoy watching a variety of birds. Carolina chickadees, tufted titmouse, red-headed and downy woodpeckers, nut hatches, and a couple of families of cardinals. We also have house wrens, blue jays, eastern bluebirds, and hummingbirds. You can barely see this male ruby throat. I'll try to get some better pictures.
