I either need to hang a feeder there or move it into the back yard. I bought seed, corn on cob and shelled corn. Squirrels didn't seem to be impressed with loose corn kernels. Maybe they want me to crush it up. Good shot of the Assup leaving the feeder. L.

Lovely photos , that's a different feeder I like it and your birdies seem to like it to ! I have flat feeders about for all the squirrel we have here to keep them off of the hanging bird feeders and it has worked for a few years now , We had mild temps and rain yesterday big patches of grass showing now and less snow on the ground , Still mild , hoping the sun shines soon !
