New Birdfeeder

 Evening snack on the new SquirrelBuster

After a couple years of watching the squirrels sucking the seed, my expensive premium blend seed that is, I decided to try one of those "squirrel proof" feeders. This one is called the SquirrelBuster and it works by pulling the cage over the seed ports if a heavy animal like a big bird or squirrel gets on it. I'll let you know how it works out over the next couple of months.

I put it out yesterday and last evening a few adventurous birds checked it out.

The squirrel did too. He decided it looked too different from the previous feeder and so didn't even venture to get on it, although I could see him considering it from all angles - above, below and from the snap pea trellis just inches away.

I wonder how long it will take him to decide that the seeds on the ground just aren't enough.
