And what's this bird?








CAT bird!

Also, here's a blue jay's butt.



You may notice that the feeders don't appear to be in quite the same position--we replaced the pole that held them and got longer arms in order to discourage the squirrels, which could eat half a feeder's worth of seed in a couple of days. So they're not as visible to the camera. Ah well; it's the birds that land on the windowsill that are the coolest to look at anyway.

If you really want to discourage the squirrels, get a stovepipe baffle for the pole, and put the feeder at least 10' from anything they can jump from. The baffle alone can be helpful, though, if you can't get the distance.

Bonus hilarity watching the squirrels climb up into the baffle and stop, for a few days anyway...

Our yard is so small there's no space 10' from anything they can jump from! We haven't seen any squirrels yet with the new setup--we'll probably graduate to the baffle once they figure this out.
